It's hard to believe some of these regulations, especially when the pianos are old . . . the elephants that made the sacrifice have been gone a loooong time !! A few years ago, I sold a 20's Steinway Player to a customer in Seattle, and delivered it from Ontario to the Canadian side of the border in B.C., north of Washington. He came up to get it in a rented pick-up, and was over the bordr in a few minutes . . no problems there, but I wanted to make sure that if there were any, he was there, as the owner, to deal with them.
