with us. It is an upright Yamaha. Our company paid shipping so don't know anything about that. No extra duty fee. I have seen ads for second hand pianos here, so they are available. Tuners are almost non existent. I called one and he wanted 1000QR. No way! Also, the moving trucks here do not have hydraulic lifts so everything is man handled off the trucks. I could not watch as 10 guys struggled for 45 minutes to get my piano off the truck. I was shocked when they actually managed to do it without crushing someone or having the piano end up in splinters.
My older kids started on a digital piano. My oldest played on it for 10 years before switching to the upright. She plays beautifully and there were no transition problems.
