Piano Moving

If you have a piano, you know they are temperamental. Pianos are sensitive to temperature, change in humidity and being jostled. Besides, they are heavy! Even an upright can be close to 400 pounds. A grand piano, well it is equivalent to moving a young elephant.

 

Pianos are odd shaped, often top heavy and hard to maneuver in and out of doors. If you have a piano and you need to move it - call a professional piano mover. Make sure you schedule them along with the other professional moving company (it might be a good idea to hire them separately) to ensure your move is smooth. For assistance and ideas, go check the list of your local moving companies and moving checklist.

 

We have all seen the cartoons of the movers - maneuvering a piano on a rope and it crashing to the ground. Makes you cringe. Actually, professional piano movers know their craft. They will protect your piano with specially quilted moving pads or blankets. They know how to secure the strings, pinblock, pedals and plate. These guys understand the importance of how to compensate for the instrument's weight on the truck by distributing it evenly on boards and securing it with straps so it doesn't tip or get damaged.  They have special heavy duty carts to carry your investment safely to and from the truck.

 

Pianos are not cheap. They are also not cheap to tune or repair. However, if you have one, getting it to your new place in great shape is also important because it's precious to you. Perhaps it was your grandmother's and you remember her teaching you Chop Sticks on it when you visited her. Or maybe you are watching your kids learn to play. Perhaps you, yourself, have spent hours tickling the ivories. It is a part of your family. To have it sitting there in the room means "home". That's the reason you want it to arrive safely.
