rental agreement

[AlliedPianoCraft]

Annie,

One of the biggest problems I've had with churches is that they move the piano and sometimes break a leg.  I always add this to the rental agreement.. 
Piano must remain in place of delivery and must not be moved under any circumstances. <name> is responsible for any/all damages to finish and/or piano.
