AS WELL YOU SHOULD!!

Movers are at times not very careful, and that’s a huge loss! Hope you get it settled quickly.

You need your Yamaha electric piano. Good grief!!

I purchased the Yamaha YDP-223 model back in 2006 from a mail order firm in Alabama for $1600. It came as a kit, and I spent an afternoon putting it all together, back in the days before my back problems started.

In my 2011 and 2014 moves, the assembled instrument was carefully wrapped, and it survived both moves without incident.

This time, the movers disassembled it first. Each piece was wrapped, but something smashed into the wrapped keyboard during shipping. Two keys, G and A, were broken, but the underlying key mechanisms of G, G#, A and A# were smashed.

I've put in a claim with the moving company. Yamaha no longer makes that model, so that will no doubt complicate things.
