Cost of moving pianos.

[Kevin E. Ramsey RPT]

The local dealership here in Phoenix charges $750 for a C7 on a one day
rental. It's a given that it's usually rented out for stage performances,
but that's what it cost. I had Steve Allen rent two when he was here playing
with Paul Smith. Tuning two of these together; that's where the Accu-tuner
really shines.
