Safeguarding Your Instrument During Transit

Our team ensures the utmost safety of your piano during transit by employing robust protective measures.

Experienced in handling various piano types, from grands to uprights, we maintain the integrity of each piece, guaranteeing it arrives in the same condition as when it was entrusted to us.

Specialized Movers for Upright, Grand, and More

Our team of specialized movers is trained to handle every type of piano, ensuring safe and secure transportation. Here's how we cater to different piano types:

Upright Pianos

Typically heavier at the top, upright pianos require careful navigation through doors and staircases. Our team uses specialized dollies and padding to ensure stability and protection during the move.

Grand Pianos

These require disassembly of legs and pedals before transport. We use piano boards and straps to secure the frame, minimizing stress on the piano's structure.

Baby Grand Pianos

Similar to grand pianos but slightly smaller, baby grands are also transported on piano boards after careful disassembly. Our precise handling preserves the fine mechanics and exterior finish.

Electric Pianos and Organs:

While less delicate, these instruments still need proper care. We wrap them in protective padding and securely fasten them for transport, safeguarding electronic components.

Preparing Your Piano for the Move

Proper preparation is crucial to ensure the safe transport of your piano. Here are the steps our team takes to prepare your instrument for the move:

Conduct an initial assessment of the piano's condition and the environment to plan the best moving route.

Remove and securely pack all detachable parts such as music stands and pedals.

Wrap the piano body in padded, protective blankets to shield against bumps and scratches.

Secure the keyboard lid and wrap it to prevent opening during transport.

Load the piano onto a specially designed dolly or skid board, depending on the type and size, for safer maneuvering.

Use ramps for moving the piano in and out of buildings and trucks to avoid sudden jolts.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you prepare a piano for moving?

Preparing a piano for moving involves several key steps to ensure its safety. First, the piano is inspected for any pre-existing damage. The keyboard lid is locked or securely wrapped to prevent opening during the move. For grand pianos, legs, pedals, and music stands are removed and wrapped separately. The entire piano is then covered with protective padding and securely placed on a piano board or dolly designed for transport.

What equipment do you use to move a piano safely?

We use specialized piano moving equipment, including piano boards, dollies, and straps. Piano boards help to distribute the weight of the piano evenly and provide a stable surface for transport. Dollies are used to maneuver the piano over flat surfaces with minimal effort, and heavy-duty straps secure the piano during the move to prevent shifting.

Can you move a piano up or down stairs?

Yes, moving a piano up or down stairs requires careful planning and specialized equipment. Our team uses skid boards along with ramps and employs manual lifting techniques supported by strong straps. Each step is taken slowly to ensure the piano remains balanced and secure throughout the process.

How do you handle pianos with delicate surfaces or finishes?

For pianos with delicate surfaces or finishes, extra care is taken to prevent scratches or damage. We use non-abrasive, soft padding materials that cover the piano completely. Additionally, we ensure that all contact points are cushioned and that the wrapping materials are securely fastened without placing pressure directly on the piano's surface.

What should I do to prepare my home for piano moving day?

To prepare your home for piano moving day, ensure a clear path both inside and outside your home. Remove any obstacles such as rugs, furniture, and décor items that could impede movement or pose a risk of tripping. Measure doorways, staircases, and hallways to confirm the piano can pass through easily, and consider removing doors if necessary to widen the passage. Clear access from the street for the moving truck is also essential to streamline the operation.
