Talk about a bad day
The organiser of a Devon music festival has spoken of her horror at seeing a £45,000 ($88,000) grand piano fall off the back of a removal firm's lorry.
"It was going to be so magical for the festival to have its own piano, a dream come true."
The piano was being lifted from a hydraulic lift on a
removal lorry when it toppled over and fell 8ft (2.5m) before landing
on a bank, causing extensive damage to the instrument.
Later, they brought in a tractor to lift the darn thing off the ground.

"Bosendorfers are like the Stradivarius of the piano world. It's more than money that is the issue here. They are simply irreplaceable."
The people who raised money to purchase the piano were all there watching the load-out and saw it crash. I can't even imagine what they must have felt at that moment.
