I'm moving apartments and have a like new Yamaha B1 with Silent System. I really want to keep it nice and sell it for a little more than what I got it for. I'm a conductor and will be here about 3 years for sure, and probably won't pay to move it if I leave town. I thought about putting the piano on casters so I can move it into my bedroom when I have guests stay over, or if I rent out my apartment and keep my room locked.

Is it good for an upright piano to be on casters the whole time? I think all the Grand pianos (Flügel) I see at conservatory are on rolling casters? Does it warp the undercarriage of the piano at all? I really don't want to damage the console at all.

I am currently living in another country and I don't have a ton of US income. I have both a Roth IRA and solo 401k. Does the 1099 I get from my HYSA count to income to my contribution limit?

I have a nice basically new Yamaha U3 I need transported. Who does legit piano moving in berlin? I want to make sure its not someone who is just a regular mover, but is a specialized piano mover.

I was thinking of giving myself a fun tough project for the summer to get my euphonium skills back up. I'm a utility trombonist and will be playing a concert cycles on Euph this season.

Is the Abblasen a piece thats common for yall to play? I've been going thru Rochuts, Voxmans and Grigorievs to get my euph chops back! But a good piece of rep would be fun as well!

I am a freelancer in Germany and don't have a ton of income in the US. I will contribute as much as I can to my Roth IRA but was also looking to open a Roth Solo 401k. Is this a reasonable plan? About half of my US based "Income" is my dividend from my HYSA. If I am correct the IRS treats this as ordinary taxable income. So I should be able to use the dividend amount to Max out any contributions to either scheme.

I need to do as much Roth or 401k investing because it's not taxable by Germany, so allowing my net worth to increase at the US market rate. My understanding is that US brokerage accounts are taxed aggressively after 1000EUR of profit. So I will pay both German Capital Gains tax of 26.375% (w/ Solidarity) and then the 30% or so income tax?

I'm going to be applying for a United Card thru chase here soon. I have one new Credit Card in the last 24 months. I also had a hard credit check to increase my limit on some cards.

Will the limit increase count or is it just establishing new lines of credit that the rule applies to?
