I've never installed insert type casters on an instrument, but my Musser ProVibe has them. On some provibes I've used (esp. ones at colleges, that get a lot of use and abuse), these casters can loosen up over time, and fall out of place whenever the instrument is lifted up. Then again, my pro vibes are at least 25 years old, and the casters are functioning perfectly well. Bottom line, there's no reason I can think of not to install larger casters, as long as there's enough space on the frame to accommodate the mounting plate. Maybe if one is dealing with a vintage (and collectible) instrument, one might hesitate to drill new holes, but from a purely functional standpoint, larger casters should work fine. -------------------- moderator, mallet forum Post Extras
