3 Extra Services Available With Professional Piano Moving Companies

Moving a piano can be a hard task. You shouldn't rely on friends, family, or a regular moving company to transport the large instruments. When you enlist professional piano movers, the movers will have experience dealing with the weight of a piano and all of the logistics that go into moving a piano without causing any damage.

Along with the move and placement in a new home, piano movers often supply a number of other services to help with your move. Learn about these services and some of the options you have for the next time you seek piano moving.

1. Piano Tuning

Moving a piano into a new home can come with a lot of changes. You will have a whole new location for the piano, and some changes may have occurred through the move and setup of the piano. Help ensure a piano plays correctly with professional piano tuning. 

A professional tuning will ensure all the notes play correctly and your piano has no issues. Professional movers have the skills and talents to tune all kinds of pianos, including fully upright pianos and grand pianos. As you settle into a new home, you won't have to worry about an out-of-tune piano the next time you decide to play the instrument.

If the piano has not been used recently, then you could add a cleaning service to the tuning as well. Piano tuners will clean both the exterior and interior of the piano to eliminate any dust buildup or other dirt and debris that has accumulated over the years.

2. Piano Storage

In some cases, your new home may be ready for the piano placement. For example, you could have purchased a home that needs to go through multiple renovations. While you may sleep and live at the home, you may not have space for the piano until the renovations are complete.

If you need to move out of your previous home, then you may seek out piano storage. A piano mover may offer storage units to keep your piano in. A storage unit will typically include climate control. The climate control will prevent high heat or humidity from impacting the wood, strings, and other elements of a piano.

With professional piano movers, you can trust their moving skills to properly load and unload a piano. You can keep the piano in storage for as long as you need and have the piano delivered when you are ready. The process eliminates a lot of the hassles when you need renovations like floor replacements or wall paint.

3. Piano Disposal

As you move out of a home, you may decide that you no longer want a piano. Instead of leaving it behind, you can ensure your musical legacy lives on and your instrument goes to someone who truly wants a piano. A piano mover may offer a disposal service to move the piano.

Moving the piano out as soon as possible will make the rest of your move easier. You will have more space to move around the home and get moving tasks done. Along with the physical changes, you will enjoy a lot less stress with the disposal. You won't have to worry about getting rid of the piano.

Once taken from your home, piano movers may refurbish and resell the instrument. You can feel good knowing the piano has gone on to make music and memories for others.
