“The bitterness of poor quality service remains long after the pleasure of low price is forgotten.”
Upright pianos can weigh anywhere between 400 to 900 pounds. Grands start about 650 pounds and can go up to 1300 pounds depending on the size and manufacturer. Not only are pianos very heavy — although solidly built, they are at the same time, complex and very fragile. A standard piano has more than 230 strings, pulled tightly across a metal bridge with a combined tension of 40,000 pounds. The piano action itself has over 3500 parts which include over 1,000 moving parts.
