Fulla-Carp Posts: 3,680 Group: Members Member #193 Joined: May 5, 2005	This thread is prompted by the thread on PW where the Houston TX. Estonia dealer’s delivery men lost a piano they were delivering when they forgot and left the piano in their hotel room when they checked out. http://www.pianoworld.com/ubb/ubb/ultimate...ic/1/11760.html Can anyone top that? Has anyone left anything stranger than a 7’ grand in their hotel room? lb

Usually there is just enough room to get around the bed(s) and the furniture. If one could get a 7' grand into a hotel room the next question is how stoned do you have to get to forget about it.

Nobody knows where the piano is for sure. The guy thinks he is going to get his money back, but people in the industry are taking odds on that. Just like all the free sweatshirts. lb

Hahahaha! You said the Secret Word!!! Posts: 36,750 Group: Members Member #181 Joined: April 26, 2005	Wouldn't you think you would notice such a thing as you got ready for the day? Now, here I sit this go-live weekend in my hotel.. I'm in a suite, and have a keyboard with me.. and even in this unit I would be unable to miss a 7' piano. Guy needs some new goons.

Guy needs some new goons. I think everyone is giving this dealer more credibility than he deserves. Does anyone actually think these guys left the piano in a hotel room. Does anyone actually think this piano ever left Houston. 10 days after the fact the dealer still doesn't know which hotel the piano was left at. Get real!!!! Anyone that believes this dealer story gets a free sweatshirt. lb

Pisa-Carp Posts: 5,986 Group: Members Member #23 Joined: April 19, 2005	this is an absolutly true story, heard it on the news a few years ago. yo yo ma left his cello in the trunk of a taxi. he got out of the taxi and went wherever he was going while leaving the thing in the cab, and realized after 15 min, after the cab drove away. frantic phone callls to the taxi service and police and the baby was restored to its owner...

Pisa-Carp Posts: 5,986 Group: Members Member #23 Joined: April 19, 2005	Cello Yo-Yo Ma calls it "my voice," the 1733 Montagnana cello from Venice, Italy, that's worth $2.5 million. It's the same instrument that made worldwide headlines in 1999 after he left it in a New York cab. Police tracked it down to a garage in Queens. "Always keep your taxi receipt," he advises. Does he still take New York cabs? "Why not? To do that once was very, very stupid. But to do it again," he says with a laugh, "would be absolutely nuts." He also has a 1712 Davidoff Stradivarius, which he uses for Baroque music. "The cellos have very different qualities. The Montagnana is more earthy, a baritone instrument, and the Strad is a tenor." Ma currently owns two other cellos he doesn't perform with: A new cello made for him by Moes & Moes and a new cello made by Mario Miralles. He also owns a "morin khuur," which is a Mongolian horsehead fiddle that he sometimes performs in. "The old instruments are getting scarcer, and the new ones are getting more wonderful. We may be entering a new golden age of instrument-making."

Is this really the end? Perhaps there will be a sequel.

Is this really the end? Perhaps there will be a sequel. I hope the poor Bosie doesn’t develop a complex over this. This is the second time it has been sold and then rejected by the buyer. I noticed that several PW weenies were beating their chest and claiming that exposing the dealer on PW caused him to correct things. That is a joke, this dealer openly scammed a group of PW members over the sweatshirts and scammed the whole PW community when he was posting as a puppet. When caught in his puppet act he claimed someone hacked his computer and did it. This dealer doesn’t give a RA about piano world or its members. The check hasn’t been cashed and cleared yet Ax, and I will be skeptical until it does. lb

Fulla-Carp Posts: 3,022 Group: Members Member #16 Joined: April 18, 2005	I left a flannel nightie on the back of a door at the Waverly Inn on Barrington in Halifax once (never wore it that night ). Anyway, a few months later they tracked me down to a rented room in a Victorian walkup stating I'd left my nightie there. Funny thing ... On that night I paid for the room with cash. I don't remember giving them my name. And it wasn't like I spent every w/e there either. Halifax is such a small town. <_<
