unreliable piano movers

...they didn't show up at the pickup during the time they specified. 

Now I have to wait several days, which messes up a rehearsal schedule with soprano. 

This is annoying.  I'll go count to infinity to blow off some steam.
Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

In my city there is a very punctual moving company that does ONLY pianos, so we don't have to rely on household movers.  Makes life less frustrating. 
Interpreting music means exploring the promise of the potential of possibilities.

Sure would be nice if professionals could all honour their word, eh?  I make a note not to deal with people who give me bad service, and to tell the whole wide world as well.  It's a duty really.  What if some poor soul gets the same crappy service, all because I didn't pregnant dog enough about them?

The movers I called wouldn't even try to move a piano into my parents place when the front yard was dug up.  Probably afraid of liability.  I later heard these movers don't have the best reputation...

So we moved it ourselves.  It wasn't easy, pianos are heavy!  But we got it in there.

When Practice Stagnates – Breaking the Performance Ceiling: Robotic Training for Pianists

But according to recent research, a robotic exoskeleton hand could help pianists improve their speed of performing difficult pianistic patterns, by overcoming the well-known “ceiling effect”.
