Moving a piano is not easy – these items are renowned for being very heavy and awkward to move.
It requires more than the muscle power of you and a few friends to make sure that the piano arrives safely and is still in tune. It is a job best left to professional piano movers.
A grand piano has over 12,000 parts. Many, like the strings and hammers, are delicate and easily damaged if badly handled and specialised equipment is not used. Piano dollies, custom straps, padded blankets and other specialised gear are required to safely move heavy pianos and securely transport them in a moving van.
To get a piano out of a home often involves manoeuvring it up or down stairs, around tight corners and through narrow doorways. Successfully moving the piano without damaging the instrument or the house requires the expert skills of professional movers. Professionals make moving a piano through tight locations look easy, but try it yourself and you will realise how difficult the job is.
A quality piano is expensive, and have often been owned by a family for many decades, gaining much sentimental value. You should insure a piano against damage when moving, but if you use experienced expert piano movers, damage to the piano or your property is unlikely
Whilst most removal services will move a piano, it’s best to hire Merseyside Movers & Storers as we have the experience and equipment to move any type of upright or grand pianos.
