Moving a Piano

Transporting pianos is a complicated task, and without guidance is also an extremely tedious and frustrating one. The best way to move your piano is the simplest but not the most cost efficient; hire a professional Piano Mover! Trying the task yourself may result in physical injury and/or inadvertent damage to the piano. This is also the only guaranteed way of making sure your piano safely gets from where you are moving from to where you are moving to. Prepare the piano first by making sure it is surrounded by secure padding that will protect the surface, and be slow when you are moving it. Both of these precautions will help your piano to arrive at your new destination in the same shape it was when you began. When you are ready to move, try your best to get wheel support to help you for as much of the move as possible.

As with dealing with moving companies, go through a couple of options before you pick your piano mover and make sure that you understand the extent of their insurance coverage. Often times, their insurance will not fully cover your instrument, and it is highly suggested that you do purchase additional insurance just in case. These hints should help make the painstaking task of moving your piano easier. Often you’ll need to have your piano adjusted after the move if you want the instrument to sound correctly.
