Is it reasonably possible for one person to remove caster cups, roll a wheeled baby grand a few feet out of the way on a hardwood floor, and then roll back and replace caster cups?

    The casters on most grand pianos are not sufficient to move them .best is 3-4 strong ‘guys’ who lift the piano and carry it 'you don’t need to get all the weight off the wheels, just most. And of course those 3 ‘guys’ lift each leg enough to get the cups out.

    Strong girls can do this job, but I’ve never seen any try.

        Pretty much. On a cement floor they would work ,but they are too small for carpet. Even wood floors often are too soft and they dig in. If they work great, but if anything goes wrong your first clue is the legs breaking off at the piano.
