Can they be used for moving an upright piano on hardwood floor without causing dents and scratches ? I've had that happen with a different product.

These are really really good! I've used other ones and they broke / cracked. The plastic on these are some what softer but tough if that makes any sense. We have a concrete dining room table with a teak base. Both weight about 150lbs a piece. These moved the both of them....now I moved it against a slate floor and it didn't damage or scratch the floor so. I'd rub some murphy's oil on the bottoms just to protect one more layer if your concerned but these movers are worth every penny

Perhaps if you don't plan to move it. I bought 2 sets with the idea of being able to roll the treadmill around on them easier than directly on the carpet. They fell apart immediately when I tried to move the treadmill on them. They didn't work at all!

Perhaps, if you can lift the piano high enough to put the sliders underneath and can still move that kind of weight by yourself or with someone. Then yes you can use this product to move a piano.

Furniture movers work well on hardwood floors. As far as the weight of the item I would be careful while moving it to be sure it does not scratch.

Interesting idea. I never thought of that use but don't see why it could not work. They glide very easily on carpet even with a heavy couch leg or even grand piano leg on them.

There are sliders for wood floors but they have a cloth on the base instead of a plastic which touches the wood floor. These are good for sliding across carpet. I would use Waxman 4710495N Felt Bottom round Furniture Sliders if I were moving furniture over a tile or wooden floor. Hope that helps! I'd hate for you to scratch your wood floor with the hard plastic bottom of these if a piece of sand or grit gets between the plastic and the floor.

It can, keep in mind the piano is EXTREMELY HEAVY! The Shoulder Dolly was relatively new when we moved the console piano. I am 64 inches about 145lbs and the other guy was 66 inches 160lbs. We would lift the piano with the dolly a couple inches off the ground, just enough so it wouldn't scrape the clients floors, and then take it a couple of feet and set it down, and repeat until we got it off the Uhaul truck and into their house. The load will be felt on the lower back. Also the shoulder straps might dig in your neck so pull the shirt up from the collar to deal with that. When using the shoulder dolly don't squat all the way down to pick up the piano. Just a couple of inches so the piano can be carried. There should be a handle on the back of the piano and the other hand can go on the side of the keyboard for balancing. The piano we moved had delicate legs so we refrained from grasping the piano there. Hope this helps

I'm Afraid NOT ... I ordered these to help me solve the issue of not being able to move around here in my home office, which was carpeted with 1/2" pile carpet. These wheels made very little or no difference. Mobility is important to me (now that I'm disabled) so I gave up and had hardwood flooring installed here in the office. Now I have to buy 4 different wheels (the soft rubber kind) as these are too hard for my new floor and will scratch it (as told to me by the flooring people and verified by several office supply stores). So, the short answer is NO. Sorry, I ,too, was looking for an inexpensive solution, but it didn't workout. I'm Afraid NOT ...

I use these on a couch with a tile floor; I can move the couch, but with difficulty. I think they are designed to primarily keep the couch from sliding.

We mostly use ours on carpets and no issues there. If hardwood floors have sand/dirt and the board is rubbed over it, the chances are good it will scratch.

I installed them on cheap imported furniture - may have been a hardwood of some variety but not very if you know what I mean. I don't think I would use these, they could very well split the legs. Also, if the floor is not completely smooth with no seems, it rips the felt off the bottom of the pads. Mine are almost worn through and I have only had them for about 8 months.

The light slips over and clamps to the top of the sheet music holder. I don't see why it would not work on an upright as the clamp is adjustable to fit over most holders and has nothing that would touch the the piano itself.

I know they recommend taking them off when you're done moving. I have ALWAYS left them under ALL of my furniture so I can move them when I want. The worst I have found is there will be dents and sometimes cracks in them but with the cost I just replace them. Mine last years though.

These should be perfect to prevent a piano from moving around if it has casters on the legs. The caster wheels have to be no longer than 2-1/4".

the dent will probably be permanent - I have it under my treadmill and elliptical - and it works great - but the marks won't go away

I don't know about that. You'd likely have to contact Roland. They do mention not using felt beaters though. I made the mistake once and it marked it up almost instantly and looked like it could do damage fast. I get the feeling the felt beaters "grab" the pad material and pull it apart.

I have two of these chairs on my hard wood floor and I haven't seen any problems with scratches or any dents so far ... had mine a year or so and just bought another one ;)
