5 Reasons You Need Expert Help to Move a Piano

Are you planning to move your piano to another house or location within your house? Handling this task isn't as easy as moving an appliance or piece of furniture. You need to consider the fact that pianos are not only extremely heavy, but also fine instruments. Therefore, you must be careful throughout the entire process of moving a piano.

Since moving a piano can be very challenging, you should consider hiring a professional piano mover. Below are five (5) key reasons why working with an experienced piano moving company is your best solution.

1. They Protect the Piano

Since most pianos are large and bulky, they often prove challenging when moving, especially in and out of tight spaces. Damage to pianos often occur when they are not moved with proper care and expertise.

2. They Protect Your Property from Damage

Relocating your piano without proper knowledge, tools, and equipment can result in costly damage to your property. For instance, significant damage to flooring or walls can occur if these heavy musical instruments are not moved with professional care.

Professional piano movers, with years of experience, know best how to navigate even the most challenging environment, and therefore are best suited to avoid mistakes which could result in damage to your home.

3. They Help You Avoid Personal Injury

Pianos can weigh as little as 300 lbs and as much as 1,500 lbs, therefore it’s not hard to see how you could end up suffering a personal injury when trying to move a piano on your own. Also, it’s not a good idea to ask some of your friends to help you in this endeavour, this could result in broken friendships.

Working with a professional mover helps ensure you stay safe.

4. They Have the Right Equipment

As previously outlined, just moving your piano presents its own risks, however there’s even greater potential risks when transporting your piano from one location to another. Damage to your piano may occur when loading it into a vehicle, or while in transit, if it is not properly protected or secured.

Professional piano movers use the proper dolly to protect your flooring. Also, when moving a grand piano, it’s necessary to use the proper equipment to disassemble and reassemble it.

5. They Help You Save Money

Most people who move their pianos without expert help assume they can save money. However, trying to do this on your own can end up costing you more in repairs and medical bills than if you hired a professional. 

Since professional piano movers do this type of work day-in and day-out, they are in the best position to safely move your piano. Additionally, professional piano movers are insured to protect you and your property if something does go wrong.
