The wheel is 1" wide, and has a diameter of 1-3/4". The round mounting plates are 2-1/8" in diameter, and have four screw holes to attach to your piano. The stem (the part that goes into your piano), is 1" in diameter and 15/16" in height. Our most popular selling metal piano casters, manufactured in the United States.

- Temperature and Humidity Resilience: Metal casters are less affected by environmental changes, whereas rubber can harden or become brittle in varying temperatures and humidity levels.

Will these piano casters fit my piano?
Every piano is a little different, and unfortunately, there's no universal database that matches caster sizes to specific piano models. However, we provide detailed specifications for each product — including stem diameter, stem length, and wheel size — so you can measure your piano’s existing mounting holes and compare.
If your piano’s leg socket is slightly smaller than the stem, you may need to carefully widen the hole to fit. In most cases, installation is straightforward.

How to choose the right piano casters
How to choose the right piano casters
Choosing the right piano casters depends on your piano type, flooring, and how often you move the instrument. Here are five key factors to consider:
- Piano Type – Upright pianos use 4 casters, while grand pianos use 3.
- Floor Type – Rubber casters are best for hardwood and tile. Brass wheels should be paired with caster cups to prevent floor damage.
- Weight Capacity – Match the wheels to your piano’s weight. Most range from 120 to 300 lbs per wheel.
- Mobility Needs – If you move your piano often or over longer distances, double rubber wheels with ball-bearings provide smoother, safer transport.
- Usage Frequency – For schools, churches, or stage pianos that get repositioned often, choose heavy-duty rubber wheels designed for frequent movement.
Should I get rubber or brass piano casters?
Should I get rubber or brass piano casters?
It depends on your floor type and how often you move your piano. Rubber casters are the better choice for hardwood, tile, or laminate flooring — they offer smoother, easier movement while protecting against scratches and dents. Brass casters are more traditional and visually elegant, and are the ultimate aesthetic accessory for a piano.
For most homes, churches and schools, rubber wheels are the safer, more floor-friendly option. If you want the classic brass look, consider pairing them with caster cups to protect your floor.
