Piano Moving

Moving a piano requires careful planning and expertise

It’s not as simple as three or four strong people each grabbing an end and walking it out the door and onto the truck. We’ve mentioned that a piano is a delicate musical instrument, easily susceptible to damage to both its interior and exterior. Our piano moving experts will ensure that your piano move is done carefully and flawlessly. This includes:

• Verifying how the piano will be moved – including all the doorways, hallways, staircases, and up into the moving truck. All this should be mapped out in advance.
• Making sure the piano is properly wrapped and protected. The last thing you want is damage to your piano’s exterior finish, or its keyboard, or any other part of it. We will take care to ensure it is fully protected. That way, not only is the instrument covered, there’s also damage to walls, etc. during its move.
• Ensuring the lifting power is there. The last thing you want is to find out is that your piano is too heavy for the number of people you have there to help move it. We will make sure in advance that the right crew is assigned to the job, and that they have the right equipment with them – including lifting straps, dollies, or anything else it takes to have your piano moved safely and securely, all the way to its end destination.
• Proper loading into the moving truck. We would seldom recommend renting any type of vehicle and attempting to transport an instrument as delicate as a piano. A proper moving truck, with a properly trained crew, is the only way to do it correctly. Take no chances with your piano move. Make sure you get an experienced piano moving crew.
• Proper unloading and moving the piano to its new location. It’s not just getting it wrapped and loaded into the truck. You have to consider what happens at the other end also. Getting your piano off the moving truck, and navigating all the twists and turns of the path to its new location is essential to a successful piano move. We will ensure nothing is missed – that your piano reaches its new location, safely and securely.
