WHY USE SPECIALIST PIANO MOVERS AS OPPOSED TO A REGULAR REMOVALS COMPANY?

specialist piano moving company over a regular removals company is crucial for several significant reasons, including:

  • Expertise – Pianos are delicate and heavy instruments that require unique equipment and expertise to ensure a damage-free move. Professional piano movers have the knowledge and experience to disassemble, transport, and reassemble pianos with the utmost care, reducing the risk of damage or injury during the process.
  • Specialised Equipment – Pianos come in various shapes and sizes, with each type demanding a different approach. Piano removal companies are equipped with specialised equipment, designed to help navigate tight spaces and transport the instrument safely.
  • Care and Attention – Professional piano movers understand the emotional value attached to these stunning instruments, prioritising its safety throughout the move. This level of care and attention is often lacking in regular removal companies.

THE PROCESS OF SAFELY MOVING AN UPRIGHT PIANO AND A GRAND PIANO

Moving an upright piano and a grand piano is a complex process that requires sufficient planning and execution. Some general steps for safely moving both types of pianos include:

  1. Location – Assess the piano’s current location. Clear any obstacles, measure doorways and hallways and ensure the instrument will fit through them with ease.
  2. Disassembly (Grand Piano) – For grand pianos, the legs, lyre, and other removable parts should be carefully disassembled. The lid is also closed and secured to prevent damage.
  3. Padding – The piano should be padded and wrapped with specialised moving blankets or padding. Upright pianos may require more extensive padding due to their shape.
  4. Specialised Equipment – Professional piano movers use specialised equipment to lift and move the piano safely. These tools help distribute the weight evenly and prevent strain or damage.
  5. Loading – The piano should be carefully loaded onto a moving vehicle to ensure it is secure and stable during transit.
  6. Securing the Vehicle – Using straps and restraints, the piano should be fastened to prevent any movement during transportation.
  7. Transportation – The driver of the vehicle should be experienced in piano transportation, taking road conditions and traffic into consideration.
  8. Unloading – At the destination, the piano is carefully unloaded, following similar safety precautions used during loading.
  9. Reassembly (Grand Pianos) – Any disassembled components are reattached, and the piano is set up correctly.
  10. Final Placement – The piano is placed in its desired location and any adjustments are made.

ADVICE AND TIPS FROM OUR PIANO TRANSPORTERS

Moving a piano can be a challenging task, so it’s usually best left to experts. Consider hiring experienced piano removal specialists who have the necessary equipment, training and expertise to safely move your instrument with ease. Before moving day, we recommend clearly communicating any specific instructions or concerns with the movers to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Pianos may need time to acclimate to the new environment before being tuned. Allow the piano to sit in its new location for a few weeks before scheduling a tuning. After the move, consult a professional piano tuner to assess the instrument’s condition and perform any necessary adjustments.
