The piano is perhaps one of the more challenging equipment to handle during a move.  They are big, bulky and very expensive.  Because of its weight you might think that a piano is not delicate.  But don’t let the weight fool you.  A piano is a finely tuned musical instrument with over 1000 moving parts, 200 metal strings and it is very fragile.

Sure, an average sized piano can weigh around 1500 pounds.  When moving you will probably think that 5 or 6 buddies to carry the piano will do the trick.   You and the boys will probably wrestle with the piano out the door and into the moving van, and voila, piano moved.  But one false move can scratch the piano’s paint and one hard knock can damage the moving parts and strings inside.  Even worse, the piano might not sound as it used to!

A professional piano mover might be the better choice between the 6 buddies.  Think of it this way, the cost of a professional piano mover would be lower than the cost of having to retune or repair the piano.  You and your friends can also get injured while moving the piano, adding to more medical bills.

A piano is a delicate musical instrument and should be handled accordingly.  Professional piano movers are experienced, have special equipment and packaging materials specifically designed to move pianos.  Save yourself the hassle and hire a professional mover and save on cost and effort!
