the kind of idiot that is trying to commit insurance fraud after damaging his instrument in a way that his insurance won't cover.

Another damn shame, with pictures.
This happened last year. Movers lost control of this $88K piano as they took it off the truck. |

I've heard that the difference between a violin and a fiddle is that a violin is carried in a case and a fiddle is carried in a sack.

If I had broken a million-dollar violin that can't be replaced.... I'd probably be using the remaining strings to strangle myself to death.

I'm not sure if I feel sorry for the guy. I just wish I had a Stradivarius to not lend him.

It's hard to believe they'd be turning a piano like that on it's side to be honest with you. That would really fuck up the allignment of the keys if it went over a few bumps in the road.
Of course it'd need tuning after arrival, but still, I wouldn't be transporting a piano like that.
