I have moved my 400+ upright piano and my family (wife and 3 kids) from 100
mile north of Seattle, WA to Monterey, CA.   I would not recommend it  I
think it stressed the frame a bit because I had to readjust the catch for
the sliding door (it kept popping open after that)  and it did it again when
I moved the piano again (a simple 30 mile local move but it seems to have
become "untweeked" because the sliding door only randomly popped open for a
few months.)  When I say popped open I mean the door latch popped... the
door did not come sliding open as I was driving down the freeway)

For those who are keeping track there is a new technical term in his e-mail
"untweeked"

Untweeked is a verb that describes the opposite action caused by a known or
unknown force applied to your van or parts of your van that tweeked it in
the fist place.

In layman's terms: you know the cashier at the supermarket who's job it is
to go around putting back returned goods.... He is in the act of
"unshopping"

Thanks again for your time
