Piano Moving
The best way to move a piano depends on the kind of piano that needs to be moved. Every piano should be moved on a four-wheel dolly. The casters on any piano are there just to roll a few feet. Without a special dolly, marks will be left on hardwood floors. Every piano should be padded well. For grand pianos, it is usually best when the piano can be placed on a grand board or skid before it is moved. That is a padded board built for moving grand pianos.
It is also best to know how many steps the piano needs to go over. It is often tempting to move the smaller spinets and consoles by yourself. However, the two front legs are on the piano just for looks. The pianos are unevenly balanced. It is really easy to snap the legs off when going over the steps, if you aren’t used to moving them.
Hiring a professional piano mover is one of the best decisions you will ever make. The piano moving companies have the right equipment, their trucks are custom-made on the inside for moving pianos, and most importantly, they have the knowledge and skill level to move the piano safely and efficiently. You will be pleasantly surprised how reasonable it is to rely on a piano mover!
