Hi, I went to see a "customer" today, the call was that the piano got damaged in a move. Well, I got there and in his garage was the (vertical) piano, in the back of his truck - IN PIECES. He has secured it with nylon rope, he came around a corner and the "ropes" gave way and it fell out of the back of the truck (pick-up type) slowed down by the rope it landed on its top. The sides and pedal board came away as one U shaped piece and other bits fell off at same time of impact. Unfortuanately the plate is cracked otherwise I might have given him a serious quote, I was really trying to refrain from busrting out in laughter as he told me the story. So, as it is already "packed" in his truck he will bring it around tomorrow and I guess I'll have a few more spare action parts. I think I'll attempt making one of those computer cabinets with it, as shown in last May's Journal.
