Professional piano movers not only have the correct tools but also have an appropriate mode of transportation specifically set up to accommodate pianos, with padding and restraints designed for a piano. The lack of experience moving pianos means less attention being paid to the deceptive fragility of this large instrument. Even minor cracks to the soundboard can destroy the piano. A piano’s action is sensitive, and the frame is under immense tension.

This is admittedly cheaper, but far riskier. During a move, it might be tempting to allow a regular moving company take care of the piano, as they would a couch or desk. That the piano is being moved, rather than sold, must mean it is important, so why not protect it?Įven a console piano can cause a headache for an inexperienced mover. Add thresholds and steps to an equation with 1,000 pounds of weight attached to it, and anything less than highly experienced movers is not recommended. They are often too tall to go through many doorframes. Pianos by nature and size do not do through doorways, across floors, or down halls easily.

Equally important, the location the piano came out of and is going into needs to remain intact as well.
