Shipping some ebony and ivory?
Just wondering if anyone here has looked into shipping a piano?
I've got a really nice upright Yamaha, that i would love to send, but i hav'nt got around to getting a quote yet. The company i am using for my teachests won't touch it.
Would it travel ok? I would have thought it would need retuning upon arrival, but would there be any lasting damage?

On the offchance, do you have any idea how much it costs? no worries if you don't.
