ORDER: SHIPPING
POLICY: You MUST browse the Catalog area, and try to learn what you want. We no longer search our catalog for you. Have
this information ready: Make
sure you are in the catalog area for your kind of piano-- If you are confused, call us for assistance. If we do not answer the phone, we are probably here-- Just leave a message- we will
return your call (it may not be the same day). |
Wheels on pianos take a lot of rough work when moving the piano two feet or two thousand miles. Original wheels, especially on old uprights, are often metal and will scratch floors and rip carpet. It is very smart to put better wheels on the piano. Brass wheels are classy and essential on grand pianos.
For all parts possible I give you a diagram identity number so you can go to the diagram and double check to see if you are ordering the right part. It is impossible to give a "Back" button to return to so many pages, so please use your browser's "Back" button.
Also, I give you a link to the page which tells how to make the repair or installation of the new part.

The
rubber wheeled casters are actually a hard high quality pliable plastic compound
which will not mark or dent floors. Metal wheels will leave trails in the
floor which
cannot be removed. Rubber casters also diminish the transfer of
sound into the
floor in apartments and condos. Having two wheels insures that
the wheels will not be
too high, and they will not collapse with age.

NOTE REGARDING RUBBER CASTERS:
If you have a full sized upright made in the early 1900's, you need a heavier duty caster
because of the weight of the piano. We recommend the SH2592 found below. (Scroll down.)
Also, if you want the best caster for nice wood or tile floors, get the SH2592 casters.

| DARNELL CASTERS have a double race of ball bearings. The upper race of ball bearings takes the load, and the lower race takes the side thrust. The axle is designed to be serviced and lubricated when necessary. The models with cast iron sockets allow for the sockets to be removed. Do not order the casters with the cast iron sockets if your piano has the drop forged (pressed steel) sockets. |

These

skimp here.

what you see well enough. There is no formal description of these casters.

the wheel and socket dimensions are given. Some retro fitting may be required.
We do not have the socket stem diameter
at this time.
NOTE: the price of these casters is quite volatile because they are imported and they are brass. Call for current price and availability.
