Since pianos are very fragile and vulnerable
to scratches, you can rest assure that our piano movers
can take care of it from the moment it leaves your place
to the desired destination. Our piano movers can also
rig or hoist your piano if the size does not fit your
door or stairway, keep in mind though that measurements
on the piano should be stated before moving to avoid any
delays on the day of moving. If you don't know the exact
measurement, contact us and we'll send someone to measure
your piano.
Moving an Upright Piano From Room to Room or House to House
Instructions
- Assign a team of four movers and place two at each end of the piano. Let no one other than your assigned movers touch the piano.
- Make sure none of the movers has a history of back problems.
- Make sure your helpers are wearing work gloves to protect their hands.
- Cover the piano with protective plastic if you have to move it outside for transport.
- Make sure the lid is down and locked.
- Give your movers very specific instructions on how and where to move the piano safely.
- Put the piano on a heavy-duty dolly. This will preserve tuning. It will also keep movers from damaging the piano or your home.
- Remember to lift and roll the piano endways.
- Keep hold of the handle behind the piano all the time it is rolling.
- Be careful rolling the dolly over thresholds and door jambs.
- Make certain that the piano won't tip over by being pushed over any obstacle too fast.
Tips & Warnings
- Because most of the weight of an upright piano is located toward its back, it does tilt over easily. When moving it away from a wall, be absolutely sure no one is standing behind it.
- Spinets and console pianos have thin front legs that can break off easily if caught. Tip the piano back very slightly as you roll it to avoid damage.
- You should use friends for moving your piano only if you really cannot afford to pay professional movers. Paying a moving company might well be worth the money you might save on paying for damaged pianos and bodies! And don't even think about moving a grand across town, let alone up and down stairs, without professional help!
