A local town was having their town hall renovated and needed to get their tw= o=20 grand pianos moved out of the town hall during renovations. We were called=20 to move them. After encouraging them to move them to our storage facility=20 (or at least another climate controlled storage facility) they decided to=20 move them to the highway garage where both pianos were left on their sides.=20= =20 Once all the renovations were done we were called for the return move back t= o=20 the town hall, but when discussing the move with the coordinator for the tow= n=20 he was insistant that one piano would be set up and he wanted one piano to b= e=20 left on its side indefinitely as they were going to be trying to sell it. =20 After a small discussion with the man, all the time, being adament that the=20 piano be left on its side, he finally told us what was really up...while the= =20 piano was on its side at the highway garage, they decided to try to sell the= =20 piano and so attempted to show the piano. And obviously anyone who has neve= r=20 before touched a piano can set up a grand piano, No Problem! Why hire a=20 piano mover at all! They put ALL the legs on and the lyre and then tipped=20 the piano off the board to set it up. Needless to say, the bass leg could=20 not take the stress so it snapped, then the piano shifted and was dropped th= e=20 rest of the way crushing the treble leg and lyre. So it wasn't that he=20 didn't want to set it up, he couldn't...he only had one leg.=20 ~Lanie ________________________________________ Moody Piano, Inc.
