This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hey Jurgen , thank you for the info. Didn't notice that I hadn't mentioned that the piano was about a 6' grand. Could you itemize the prices of said wheels, grand and upright, please.

If you feel that you would rather Email me personally, I thank you in advance. Bye the ; nice pics.
