Piano moves can be very problematic, because special knowledge and skills are needed to safely move the piano. Many of you may be wondering why you would need to hire a professional piano moving company to move your piano, rather than asking the mover who is moving the rest of your belongings. The main reason for hiring a professional piano mover is that many household movers do not have sufficient equipment or training to properly move a piano. Most upright pianos weighs from 400 to 900 pounds. Grand pianos can weigh from 650 to 1300 pounds. The value of a piano can vary from a few hundred dollars to 500,000 dollarsdepending on the age, make, model and condition of the piano. Most of the time a piano move involves moving the instrument through through tight spaces like to make an emergency call to us because their mover could not get the piano out of her or his house. In other cases, I did receive calls from customers who had hired a non-reliable piano mover because their price was much lower, and had to book an emergency move with us, because the cheap mover did not show up to move their piano or call to explain why they were not there.
When you hire a professional piano mover, you can expect at least2 people to come to your home. In the most difficult moves, 4-6 people may be used. They will be equipped with piano skids, moving pads, ramps, slings, and the knowledge of how to move your piano safely. They will use special techniques to maneuver the piano out of your house. When the piano is put on the truck, it will be safely secured to the vehicle in order to avoid damage during transport.
