I have to admit I am only going on what my BIL said but apparently going by what was aired last night on tv, it wasn't such an expensive mistake was it in the end, well maybe not for the piano but I think its an expensive mistake for G&R, I'm sure it puts people off. If they have such good testi...

Well it seems the infamous piano only has 100 pounds worth of damage, so I was informed by my BIL. Hi again Gill, thanks once again for your thoughts. No my piano isn't new, more the reason why I didn't want it moved about more than it already will be until it gets to me. I didn't get confirmation f...

Hi pianoguy, I am not doubting at all that they are a good company as David B has already confirmed as I'm sure many others will. Its just that after what I read about the incident then finding the write up it goes to show no matter what one is awarded, what insurance or training they have, nobody i...

Thats me with the Aaaargh not the removal man....lol

Hi Gill, Southampton to Bournemouth then shipped to me to Mallorca Tuesday. Its a headache. He has now come back to me stating he wouldn't that way again until the 26th, seems like, in other words like it or lump it..... He still doesn't understand my concerns and quoted New Yamaha pianos from Japan...

I had contact all yesterday with a company who said they would be able to do the delivery for me. Today they say they don't think they would be able to get to the destination before the shipping company close so would keep the piano on the premises until Monday when they will take it. I am not too h...

Whilst I am still trying to coordinate a company to move my recently purchased piano, I came upon the write up of G&R, the company who moved the Bosendorfer.... A family run business established in 1968 , we are the only piano specialists members of the British Association of Removers, Fedemac (...

Hi Gill, thanks for the vote of confidence...I have done tons of research and finally thought I couldn't go much wrong with a Seiler. She says :lol: I got it through somebody I know. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time I think. I shall let you know what I think of it when it g...

aaargh, these stories....don't do this to me, I'm nervous enough as it is, lol.

Wow, talk about every picture tells a story.
I should think the removal men felt awful about it, watching it go like that.
You are right in that there just was not enough people to man handle it, you can see that with just the length of it.
Frightening.

Oh dear....What awful luck on such a beautiful piano

I think the company may be one of the ones I am waiting a quote from, I won't be using them then

Hello, can anyone personally recommend a company to move a piano around the Southampton area? I'm waiting for quotes from companies on this site but if anyone knows of any others...
Many thanks
Melodie

Thanks very much for your input on this.

I have gone for the longest baby grand I can and a decent make as well, Seiler.

Thanks for that Gill the piano. I live in an old village house which keeps the same temperature all year round. Its like walking into a fridge in the summer when you come in from outside. I haven't got heating in the room where I wish to put a piano so I don't think there is the problem you kindly t...

:shock: Thats me, all googly eyed at so much reading on what to look for in buying a piano... Hello everyone, I need help please as I really am in a dither and do not know which way to go now. I'll start from the beginning, I want to buy a piano and have it shipped to me in Spain as there is very li...
