Old Upright piano fell over in Moving truck

[Michael Bloom]

Hi,

I had looked at a 1913 Cable Upright Piano and found it to be in very 
good condition. The piano was only slightly out of tune and all they 
keys worked and there was no unusual sound (like buzzing) coming from it.

I contracted with a professional moving company to move the 
piano.  When they opened the door on the moving truck to take the 
piano out, they found it had fallen over on the keyboard side of the 
piano.  Apparently they hadn't secured it properly and it toppled 
over.  (I still can't figure out how they didn't hear or feel it).

What I have found so far is that the 3 pedals were broken off, the 
top lid of the piano separated from the top of the pin block, Some of 
the bass keys are not leveled anymore, There is buzzing when playing 
some of the bass strings, and some damage to the wood (mostly scraping).

I looked over the soundboard, plate, strings, and the part of the pin 
block I could see and cannot find any cracks but I was unable to find 
the source of the buzzing.

I am just beginning as a piano technician and don't have enough 
experience with this type of problem. This was going to be my piano 
to practice on.

The moving company did put in writing that it fell over in their 
truck and have said they will pay for the necessary repairs.  I am 
worried about possible damage I cannot see considering how old the piano is.
Has anyone had this happen before?  Any ideas on what may have broken 
or been damaged or what to look for?  Any advice on dealing with the 
Moving company?

I would appreciate any advice on this.

thanks,
michael
