On a thick carpet, it really doesn't matter. Never buy caster cups made out of Papier Mâché, however. Marty in Minnesota It's much easier to bash a Steinway than it is to play one.

If the bagels are produced using Renner brand flour, there is a strong possibility of a well cupped caster. Usually. if the bagel purveyor is named ****** & Sons, you can be assured of extended structural staleness support. These sorts of bagel cups can easily be decorated to match the finish on the piano. Lox and Cream Cheese are always popular. Please excuse me as I go gnaw around the legs of my piano. I'm hungry. Marty in Minnesota It's much easier to bash a Steinway than it is to play one.
