How do you all handle insuring pianos while they are in your
shop/possession?  I will have pianos in my shop and be sending them to
another tech and refinisher through rebuilding projects.  Am I only
responsible for coverage while in my possesion?  What's the smartest way to
handle that?  What kind of insurer likes this type of policy?  I've used
Potter, Leonard & Cahan through the Guild and have just been insuring them
while they are with me, but I'm wondering if I'm doing the wisest thing.  Do
you get proof of insurance before the other parties (movers, etc) take
possession of the piano?  Any information from those who have been doing it
a lot is appreciated.
