For the piano, I don't know what to do, any ideas?

Whilst there are plenty of things about to put under chairs and tables
to spread the load a bit, a piano is a problem of a different order.
We are talking of a load of about a tonne applied through the brass
wheels - three almost-point-loads.

That's if its a grand piano! An upright would be lighter and have 4
points. maybe a sheet of plywood underneath with four dents for the
wheels?

Another hazard: As a child, I remember my father being worried about
stilletto heats on the wooden floors. He had little plastic covers
(made for the purpose and available from shops then) that he was going
to ask people to put over their heels when they visited.
