Hi Dave -

     Of course, loaner pianos are sometimes necessary, especially when your
customer is rebuilding a beloved Bechstein or Bosie - They don't want to
rebuild their "chops" after rebuilding the piano.

      So... a reasonable charge is expected. In the Philly area 75.00 per
month for a vert. (decent quality) or 150.00 per month for a grand. moving is
extra - we are insured already but if you aren't, that seems reasonable as
well. 

      Hope this helps.
