I don't think I'd loan him a Stradivarius after he busted his Guadagnini due to carelessness.

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'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.

They've got a compression lift at the back of the truck if you closely at the pics.
