I have moved my 400+ upright piano and my family (wife and 3 kids) from 100 mile north of Seattle, WA to Monterey, CA. I would not recommend it I think it stressed the frame a bit because I had to readjust the catch for the sliding door (it kept popping open after that) and it did it again when I moved the piano again (a simple 30 mile local move but it seems to have become "untweeked" because the sliding door only randomly popped open for a few months.) When I say popped open I mean the door latch popped... the door did not come sliding open as I was driving down the freeway) For those who are keeping track there is a new technical term in his e-mail "untweeked" Untweeked is a verb that describes the opposite action caused by a known or unknown force applied to your van or parts of your van that tweeked it in the fist place. In layman's terms: you know the cashier at the supermarket who's job it is to go around putting back returned goods.... He is in the act of "unshopping" Thanks again for your time Jere 90 GL (mileage update: 249,230) 88 GL |
