I was out on a Montana ranch tuning a nice old Janssen upright. Hanging on the wall above the piano was an unusual framed picture. It was a photo of this 1913 crated Janssen piano being delivered by horse and wagon in the winter. Check out the attachment. Notice the sturdy wood crate. The piano came by rail and the last 18 miles by horse and wagon. The young boy in the horse grew up to be the father or grandfather (not sure) of the lady who still owns the piano. The white house is still there but has an addition. This family is very attached to this piano. The lady was kind enough to scan the photo and send me a copy.
