Moving a piano is a daunting task. Whether you are moving a grand piano, organs, upright pianos, or harpsichords, the bulkiness, the odd shape and the size of these musical instruments make the move challenge. With this in mind, only specialist piano movers like us who have extensive hands-on experience of moving pianos, intricate knowledge of pianos, and have specialty moving equipment should move your prized possession.

To fully appreciate why you should only use professional piano mover specialists, you need to understand the moving process.

For instance, when moving the popular grand pianos, we start by removing the lid, the pedals, then the lyre and pad wrapping them for protection during the moving process. Then we remove the hinges and pack them in a labelled box.

We then position the piano board (specialised equipment designed to move pianos) on the longest side of the piano. A clean pad is placed on the board to protect the piano. With two of our trained movers holding the piano, the third mover removes the front leg of the piano. The piano is thereafter tilted, lowered, and gently placed on the piano board. The two remaining legs are removed and all three are pad wrapped.

The entire body of the piano is pad wrapped and thereafter stretch wrapped to offer maximum protection. Logistical strapped are used to secure the piano on the board. It is then wheeled to the vehicle and shipped. At the other end, the piano is wheeled into the house and re-assembled.
