I have a client, owner of a 2 year old Steinway 45" upright, who will be mov=
ing to England next month. A friend of his who purchased an identical=
piano and moved to England last year informed him that his piano "completel=
y fell apart" and had to be thrown away after the move. The friend's =
piano was not crated. Understandably he is concerned about getting hi=
s piano to England safely. <BR>
<BR>
Does anyone have any experiences or advice to relate to my client in prepari=
ng his piano for shipping? <BR>
<BR>
Thanks in advance.<BR>
