    No you can always make a little platform ti place under the pedals. Most are glad to be able to move the piano around. I had a school with a vertical console mode that had to be moved through a door, down a concrete walkway to the stage of the activity center/gym. Back wheels where broken so tilted the piano and found that there had been multiple past repairs. I had to create a new base to mount the new casters /wheels on. In the process of rolling the piano on the walkway a wheel turned parallel to a concrete expansion joint and ripped out. Ended up getting something like you posted. I jerry rigged the piano for the concert

    Same here, I haven't had anyone complain about the pedals being 3/4" higher after installation.
