[CAUT] FW: Re: crack

[Chris Solliday]

Why not contact Yamaha for their opinion too? I think that the question of
additional case damage is important as it may indicate mover abuse or error.
While dropping a piano on a sled from several inches, without it falling off
or twisting, can result in loss of crown (assuming such was measured before
hand), I doubt that these cracks could have been opened without other damage
appearing somewhere. Bottomline is that making such a judgment without
having seen the piano prior to the move is risky for you David. I'd think
twice and maybe not act at all.

List,

A furniture repair fellow I do work for, emailed me some photos for a moving
claim.   From the info given, I thought it wasn't moving damage.   What do
you guys think?


>Hi David,

Here are the photos.  The customer says he heard it crack as the
movers were taking it out of the room.  Origin address was in South
Texas, very hot and dry.   Is this even repairable?<
