PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a musical instrument body to be moved with easy operation while preventing a fall of the musical instrument body.SOLUTION: A mounting unit 20 includes a vertical rod portion 21, an upper horizontal portion 22, and a lower horizontal portion 23. Respective attachment parts 25 and 26 of the upper horizontal portion 22 and the lower horizontal portion 23 are brought into contact with a rear surface 12a of a pole brace 12, and the pole brace is provided with pilot holes, and wood screws 31 are engaged with the pilot holes through fastener holes, whereby the mounting unit 20 is fixedly mounted to the pole brace 12. In a state where the mounting unit 20 is mounted, the upper horizontal portion 22 has a front part extended from a rear part in a longitudinal direction, and the lower horizontal portion 23 has a front part extended from a rear part in a longitudinal direction in a position lower than the upper horizontal portion 22, and the vertical rod portion 21 is extended in a vertical direction. When an upper part of the vertical rod portion 21, the upper horizontal portion 22, or a curved portion R is grasped to urge the mounting unit 20, a musical instrument body 10 is smoothly moved on a floor surface 16 by cooperation between a caster 15 and a twin-wheel caster 29.
