    Hello,

    I just received this photo from a local music teacher.  The piano is a Young Chang grand.  Do you think a repair is possible and advisable or should I look into a complete replacement?  Thanks in advance.

    It may or may not be repairable depending how much wood there is to work with. Wheels are for small moves but not designed for cross room travel. Chances are the wheel is locked up/seized or was facing in the opposite direction of the other wheels. Worse case you may need to find a replacement leg . check the other legs for cracks and ask how this happened
