I may need to get my double back to its maker for some service, which
I've never done before.
I assume that even a good padded cover, such as we've been discussing
here, is not adequate and I would need to get a crate made, with the
covered instrument inside. Is that right? Large harpsichords are too
big for FedEx or UPS, so I would have to work with a motor freight
carrier (yes?). I have no idea how much it costs for a crate or motor
freight. Also, how do you get a crate made? A local cabinetmaker?
It may turn out to be just as good to get a cover, rent a van, and drive
it up myself (about 300 miles round trip, twice). This would save the
cost of a crate and motor freight and avoid subjecting my instrument to
the tender mercies of a carrier. On the other hand, I would have the
crate for future use if I went that route; I have room to store it in my
garage.
I'd appreciate advice from those who have been through this!
