    Virtuoso mourns beloved £150,000 piano smashed by movers
    A unique piano which was treasured by the Canadian virtuoso Angela Hewitt as her "best friend" was broken beyond repair when it was dropped by specialist instrument movers. The expensive accident happened late last month after Hewitt finished recording Beethoven's piano variations at a studio in Berlin.

    I only wish they had included the name of the moving company. There are a couple of concert grands here in south Florida I'd like them to move.

    LOL, Karl

    At least Paolo Fazioli and his factory are still making pianos, so she can probably buy a custom one with the fourth pedal.

    Not the first time an expensive instrument has been destroyed by movers ...
    This one has been on our wall for years ... Bosendorfer ... 88,750 pounds
    this is at least 10-12 years old.
