Why do they take the wheels off of pianos?

You guys know what I'm talking about right?

Like 70% of all pianos on a stage has their wheels amputated and have a triangle thing as a replacement

Easier to move, I think. The so called "spider web" creates less drag (and less damage to a hardwood floor) than a piano does.

Really???

In my experience the ones without the spider move easier

More weight, but more control over direction and stuff I think. I know for a fact that it does less damage to the hardwood/marley on most stages.
