What should it cost to ship a 7-foot grand piano from NY to California
and what movers would people recommend.  I've gotten two quotes so far
and they were both for about $2000.  That's about double what I was
expecting.

Also, I understand that someone, maybe in England, sells reproduction
base cabinets for upright music boxes.  I have a 19-5/8" Polyphon that
is missing its base, and I'd like to find a well-made reproduction.
An original would be nice, but I doubt I'll ever find one.  Can anyone
direct me to where I can buy one?

Thanks,

John Broth
