Benefits of Professional Piano Movers

There are numerous benefits to using a professional company to shift your heavy instrument including preventing dents and scratches in your furniture, walls, and piano. These advantages include:

Using the appropriate equipment: Piano moving takes knowledge, skills, and the correct equipment. Most pianos are heavy and an awkward size or shape, which can make them difficult to move through doorways, downstairs, or around corners of your home. To ensure that you don’t risk an injury to yourself or drop your precious cargo, a professional mover is an ideal choice when seeking help as they will have the correct equipment and know-how to evenly distribute the weight on a trolley for easy and safe manoeuvring.
Special care: Pianos can be costly and hold sentimental value. For this reason, a professional mover will wrap your piano in furniture blankets, which will protect it from scratches and dings as well as prevent damage to your other furniture or doorways during the move. By taking extra care of the aesthetics of your piano, you can avoid expensive repair and maintain its excellent condition.
Functional knowledge: An experienced piano mover will also have extensive knowledge about the structure and inner workings of various types of pianos. This comprehensive understanding will aid in your movers determining the best strategy to move your instrument.

Tips Regarding Hiring a Piano Moving Company

Whether you are after classic piano movers for your upright, baby grand, or a treasured family heirloom, consider our tips for hiring the ideal company.

Read reviews online: A reputable company will have excellent reviews from happy customers. Even if there are a few negative ones, read about how the company responded to these posts to gauge how they run their business. Be sure to make up your own mind about the reviews, and rather than focusing on one review, look for the overall theme as an indication of the company’s proficiency. You can also ask other piano owners for a referral. I have extensive experience moving more than 1000 pianos in Melbourne and throughout the state.
Look for experience: Use a highly experienced piano moving company that has an established positive track record. You can trust that your piano is in safe and capable hands with a professional who has moved numerous pianos throughout their career. I deliver an exceptional and reliable service with more than 30 years of experience. Once your piano is moved, I have the skills and equipment to tune it so that you can play immediately. This efficient service saves you having to organise and wait for someone else to finish the setup of your piano
Be honest about the extent of the move: Be upfront about your situation, such as whether your moving company will have to navigate stairs, narrow door frames, or steep hills. By giving the professionals adequate information when you book, they can ensure to bring enough people to help with the move, which will prevent any delays. Remember that pianos are heavy to move even on a flat surface, yet when going up a hill, more manpower may be required.

Common Mistake People Make When Moving a Grand Piano

Trying to move a piano without the help of a professional can lead to injury and damage to your instrument, furniture, and floorboards. Common mistakes people make when moving a piano include:

Using the wrong equipment: Using ineffective equipment to move your piano can cause damage to you and your instrument. Straps positioned in the wrong place or the use of lower-grade trolleys can cause strain and fractures to the framework of your piano.
Underestimating the piano weight: While you may be able to shift your piano a few feet by yourself, it takes a lot more skill and strength to move it further. A piano can weigh between 100 and 500 kilograms, and a professional will have the workforce, equipment, and knowledge to distribute the weight evenly as they safely transport it.
Trying to rush the move: Trying to move a piano in a short time frame will only stress you out. Instead, a professional can pack, move, and set up your piano efficiently and save you time and effort.
