Dang Ed is it me or do you get up early? RE: Movers More or less in charge of piano moving in Providence, I found two jewels I could not hesitate to recommend. For you guys on the East coast, I would certainly check out Death Wish Piano Movers-617-277-8311. They look scary but they are consumate pros. I agree with the choice of Schafer Brothers nationwide, courteous and competent, and deliver to homes, etc. As for Keyboard Carriage, if you want a skinny redneck with an attitude, be my guest. If it was up to me, we wouldn't let them on the dock.

Greetings, There are several companies, however, one bit of warning. There is often damage to the piano when it is shipped,(aside from lost pedals and prop sticks!). If the instrument is not sent with a description of ANY AND ALL finish damage, and then examined on the unloading dock when it arrives, the moving companies automatically absolve themselves of any responsibility. When it comes back, you must make sure it is examined and all damage noted BEFORE you sign. Don't let a receiving store accept your piano for you without examining it, since once the truck leaves the loading dock, the driver is innocent of all damage. Close the chute at both ends and you will know who branded your baby. regards Ed Also, my mover of the last year, (8 interstate shippings) has often delivered pianos in absolutely filthy pads, leaving marks on the finish under the straps etc. I am presently looking for another, so keep them suggestions coming in. Thanks
