The last item to move into the house was Kimball upright piano and they took a break. While they were in the house they heard a rumble, crash, and bang. The piano was in the back of the truck and they did not secure it. They only wedged it with the other items. It rolled and gained spead then crashed on the pavement. The 2 sides seperated from the frame. Joe Garrett and I glued it back together. I then repaired the case damage and refinished it. Replaced all of the hammers and dampers as well. It was like new when they got it back and a happy client in return.
