Hello!

We ordered the nice double brass casters with brakes from Yamaha for an 1980's CFX which was donated to our school of music. It's in excellent condition. Quite a donation.

Anyway, we currently have it on a spider which is sagging due to the weight of this beast.  The problem is that the casters will raise the piano up about 1 1/2" too high. Of course I should have measured before ordering. They said there was one set that fits all CFX's so I thought we were good. I could send them back but would really like to use them if possible. We have a similar set on our Steinway D and love them.

Turns out the D legs are about 1 1/2 inches shorter than the Yamaha legs to accommodate the large casters. 

So, do I have any options? I'm having trouble getting though to Yamaha this week. Do they make a shorter set of legs to accommodate these casters? Do they even make legs that fit older models anymore? Has anyone ever cut or sanded the feet down to accommodate these casters? Maybe that's crazy but would certainly be cheaper than a new set of legs. Just not sure if that's safe to do or if it's even possible to get a good factory clean cut, etc. 

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks!

Jon, you wrote: "If I do decide to shorten the legs I think the lyre will not be an issue as it should remain the same distance off the floor." Think about that again! If you shorten the legs, the lyre will be lower by the same amount.

if the purpose of shortening the legs is to compensate for the greater diameter of the replacement casters, in order to keep the keyboard at the same height above the floor, then it could be that the lyre will wind up the same distance from the floor as it was with the previous casters on the original legs.

Before doing any cuts talk to the tech support people at Yamaha or you will be sorry, Cutting off material from the legs is not a great idea . If you ever tried to make cuts on chair legs or stools you will know what I mean. Anyway I had to put new casters on a Yamaha G2 due to some dogs using the legs as trees as well as the lyre and pedal box. I used a motorcycle scissor jack under the keybed as well as an hydraulic racing jack with pressure treated 4 x 4 posts plus some jack stands I do not trust the jack in the box due to seal failure potential and hydraulic fluid leaks . The new caster stems did not fit into the legs because they are current production. Had to use a small router and a pattern to take out wood and allow the tapered housing to seat properly. Fortunately Yamaha found a replacement lyre with the exact same finish and height. There was a metal beam under the keybed so the lyre was considered a short lyre . If the new casters raise the lyre you will want to fabricate a spacer to sit on top of the lyre between it and the keybed. I had to do this on 2 suzuki grand pianos purchased from Costco The pedal height was made for Asian pianists because of their shorter frame

if the purpose of shortening the legs is to compensate for the greater diameter of the replacement casters, in order to keep the keyboard at the same height above the floor, then it could be that the lyre will wind up the same distance from the floor as it was with the previous casters on the original legs.
