Why You Need A Professional Piano Mover

“The bitterness of poor quality service remains long after the pleasure of low price is forgotten.”

Did you know that a spinet piano weighs between 300 and 500 pounds; a grand piano varies between 500 and 1300 pounds?

Not only are pianos very heavy — although solidly built, they are at the same time, complex and very fragile. A standard piano has more than 200 strings, pulled tight across a metal bridge with the combined tension of 40,000 pounds. The piano action itself has over 1,000 moving parts.

So, the task of moving a piano is not just a matter of weight. The asymmetric shape, the fragility of the outer cabinet and inner mechanics, the uneven distribution of parts — all this and more demands not only proper equipment, but also an understanding of the unique dynamics of balance and inertia that pianos pose.
