Response: The destination could have two men to help move piano into house. Slight problem, is there anyway you can deliver bef. April 7th? Weekend of 5th and 6th would be ideal because I can have at least two guys there and lady receiving (my sister) is leaving out of town on the 7th, but I can still have at least one person available if you can't do on the weekend (weekdays are tough because people at work). (3/27/2008)

Response: There are three steps to the front door and then a small step (2")at the door. I probably need to adjust my price I'm willing to pay down. The person receiving the piano is looking at paying $500. (3/26/2008)
