FAQs

Are these caster cups suitable for grand pianos?

No, these KingPoint caster cups are specifically designed for upright pianos and will not fit the legs of a grand piano.

What types of wood are available?

These caster cups are available in several wood types including oak, black walnut, sapele, zebra, and rosewood/jacaranda. This specific listing is for Oak.

How many caster cups are included in a set?

Each set includes four caster cups, which is the standard number required for an upright piano.

Will the felt pad scratch my hardwood floors?

No, the felt lining on the underside is specifically designed to prevent scratches and protect your flooring.

Can I clean the wood with water?

It is recommended to use only a slightly damp cloth for cleaning the hardwood surface. Excessive water can damage the wood.

What causes slight color differences between the cups?

Slight color differences are due to the natural variations in wood grain and color, which is a normal characteristic of solid hardwood products.

Do these caster cups help reduce noise?

Troubleshooting

Piano seems unstable or wobbly.

Ensure all four caster cups are placed on a level surface and that each piano leg is fully and evenly seated within its respective cup. Check for any debris under the cups.

Slight color variation between caster cups.

This is a normal characteristic of natural wood products. The slight differences in grain and color contribute to the unique aesthetic of each set and do not affect performance.

Felt pad is peeling or damaged.

Inspect the felt pad for damage. If minor damage occurs, ensure it is still providing adequate floor protection. For significant damage, consider replacing the individual caster cup.
