Back in the '80's my boss at the time bought an old piano from a deceased estate, and asked the local freight company how much to move it - $100. ''Yeah but...'' It was a Chicago pianola and absolutely huge, and the house was built around it...doors had to be removed etc to get the thing out, and it took 6 guys to lift it. A couple of months later he sold it, and asked the freight company how much to shift his Chicago pianola - $100. ''Yeah but, you've moved it before !'' The guys were not happy when they saw it again, but they shift pianos for $100.
A couple of years later we bought a piano, $5 I think. Got the same company to shift it - $100, they had to take it out of the side of the house. I mate I'd known since primary school said ''you shoudl've asked me, I move pianos by myself''...he owned Furniture For Flats. He came over to took at it, and stripped it down for us, they come right apart, you don't have to lift the whole thing !
