Homeowner news

     With the growing popularity of replacing carpet with hardwood flooring it has become more prudent to protect your large investment in beautiful hardwood flooring with the safety and non-marring Handsome Hardwood Caster Cups.  Not only do they protect your wooden floor, but they also allow you to 'scootch' your piano around a little without the danger of marring your floor.

Another option for piano owners who live in apartment or condominium situations is by substituting a foam rubber backing instead of my standard soft felt bottom  and it can further isolate the vibration of the piano through the flooring and into the apartment or condomium below.
