I don't have a wife!  You added the   a   between her and Knabe.
I did proof the post before I sent it in.  Maybe I didn't separate
it in paragraphs but I expected you would make some changes as usual.
You must be the most anal retentive person I've come across lately.

My line read:  The wife was very persuasive and wanted me to buy her
Knabe Ampico B.

I was talking about the wife of the man in Utah that sold me the music
box.

 Subject: Piano and Mechanical Music Instrument Movers.

 Last year I purchased a 27" Regina Changer Music Box from a couple in the
 middle of nowhere in Utah.  I live in rural Louisiana about an hour from New
 Orleans.  Hmmmmm.  The wife was very persuasive and wanted me to buy her Knabe
 Ampico B.  After sending a vidio and making me an offer I couldn't refuse I
 bought it too!  I looked into every way of moving them I could think of.  To
 drive there and back would have taken more than four days and who would help
 me load that heavy piano.  The truck rental and gas would be $1000.  I called
 Gene Sandberg and he was very nice and gave me a good price but the timing was
 too long as the couple were selling their home.  I called Keyboard Carriage
 and asked if they would move a Music box and they said yes.  I called a local
 piano shop and they agreed to arrange it and deliver the piano/music box when
 it came in for $125.  I called a piano shop in Utah and they agreed to pick up
 the piano/music box and hold it for Keyboard to pick up for $100.  I think
 Keyboard Carriage only charged about $500 for the pair.  They delivered a 5'8"
 Knabe Art case Ampico B with 6 boxes of rolls, matching bench, an Regina 27"
 auto changer with a huge box of discs, all totaled about 10 seperate items
 across country and with the piano shops help door to door and set up in  my
 music room by experts and it cost less than$800.00.  Not a scratch on any of
 it, I was pleased to say the least.  I hope this helps someone in the same
 predicament.
