Piano Care Guide
Moving a Piano Safely
Why piano moving is a specialist job and what to expect from a proper crew.
Moving a Piano Safely
An upright weighs 400 to 900 pounds with most of the mass high in the case, which is why they tip rather than slide.
Grands are dismantled for transport: lyre off, legs removed, case laid on a padded skid board and strapped upright.
After any move a piano should rest for a week or two in its new room before tuning so it can equilibrate.
Confirm your mover carries insurance that covers the instrument itself, not just general liability.
