Piano Movers

Many people love playing the piano in their own free time. However, there are times when you may need to move it from one place to another, especially when changing houses. Professional help is a must if you want to avoid disaster when relocating your equipment. Since weight distribution tends to be more on the backside of your piano, it may slightly tilt on one side when being moved. In case the expert is moving it off a wall, he should be sure that nobody else is standing next to the machine for safety measures.

Both console and spinet pianos are made with slim front legs which may easily break when lifted from the ground. Carriers should tip up the piano's back slightly while rolling to prevent damage. Paying for expert help is worthwhile since it saves you on spending cash for repairing damaged parts. Below are a few precautions that may be taken by piano relocation firms:

1) The instrument should be accessible for carrying on all sides

2) Lid should be lowered and shut before the process commences

3) The new location should be appropriate for your piano. It must not be placed on cold drafts lockers or adjacent to heating appliances like an oven

4) Pianos are usually moved by the more sturdy ends and not by the sides to reduce risk of damage

5) Weight can be reduced from the casters so that the piano may roll effortlessly, but it should never be lifted from the ground

6) All piano movers must be healthy and strong enough to carry the equipment. They should be given detailed instructions regarding the dynamics involved in safe relocation

7) The equipment is covered with shielding plastic material to prevent accumulation of dust on the surface

In addition (if at all possible), the owner is advised to adjust the piano to tough dolly mode. This helps in preservation of tuning and prevents movers from accidentally damaging the system.
