I would like to recommend a moving company for people in the
southwestern United States.  The company is Acme Moving in Desert
Hot Springs, Calif. [near North Palm Springs].  The phone is
1-800-774-ACME.

The company is owned by a couple who take pride in their work.  I used
to maintain their trucks as a mobile service for Ryder Leasing.  They
are people of the most outstanding character, and their employees are
also of unusually high integrity.

They have manuals from most of the current piano manufacturers,
including Steinway.  The manuals list in detail how a particular piano
should be moved.

They will go out of their way to provide outstanding service.  If you
are not in a big hurry, they will provide excellent rates if it can be
moved in with another load.  They will move one item, but, of course,
they have to at least pay for their expenses and some.  Give them a
try, you won't be disappointed.
