Piattino Caster Cups
Piattino Caster Cups
To check which size you need, take a piece of stiff paper and cut a 1″ wide strip, 8″ long. Bring the ends together to form a circle around the wheel of your piano. If it fits, order the regular size. Otherwise, order the large size. The large size will accommodate casters which will fit inside a paper circle made of a 1″ x 10 ½” strip. If 10 ½” doesn’t make it around, even the large Piattino caster cups will be too small.
THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN PERFORMANCE FROM BRASS TO NICKEL. Most pianos come with brass (gold) or nickel (silver) hardware so most people will choose to match what the other hardware on the piano is. The caster cups are made exactly the same way.
Felt pads are included in the box to protect wood and other hard floors. If your piano is on a rug or carpet do not use the felt pads.
