Those look like the business - thanks! Minimum fitting and big runner
wheels.
I bet they cost, but they'll be worth it 
In the spirit of the group, build yourself a hover-piano... :-)
Our piano's early 1900s and weighs a flippin' ton - was a chore getting
it across the hardwood floors without damaging them. I re-christened it
the paino.

you have more than likely sorted this out but for future readers
if its a 1900 piano then it more than likely has front toes this type of piano needs a rear toe kit if it is to be moved a lot, as the piano is back heavy However, if you do not intend to move it a lot then stranded homa castors will do with rubber wheels.
Modern pianos with no toe need a cradle type castor for stability
Fixing new casters to a piano is not difficult However, Putting the wrong type of castors on a piano can be dangerous and if the piano is in a public place you have a duty of care to fill safety castors
there is a website that lists the different types of castors to fit to pianos not sure if I can post links to sites but if you type in Google
"What Type of castor do we need for our piano"
you should find it
