Learn More about Our Commercial Moving Service
There are several things that you need to focus on while relocation a piano as this musical instrument is both heavy and fragile at the same time, so it needs to be handled with extra care. Of course, in order to make sure that you will successfully manage this task, you need to book a highly recommended long distance commercial moving service.
Here are a some facts about pianos to help you get started:
– When calling a moving service provider you will have to tell him the exact size of your piano. This factor may greatly influence the size of the relocation van or truck that you will need to rent and respectively the price that you will have to pay. While a 54 inch piano can fit in a regular van, you may need a bigger vehicle to fit an average medium-sized piano with 230 strings which weighs 500-600lbs.
– You need to check what loading and transportation equipment your movers use in advance. If the instrument you possess is expensive and you don’t want it to loose any of its value during the relocation because of scratches and dents, we strongly recommend you to make sure that your mover has the following equipment: 4-wheel solid piano dolly, inclines to make the piano boarding in the truck easier, pads and tapes, as well as belts that can be used to tie the piano to the truck wall and avoid any damage during the transportation. It is also important that you provide a clear parking space to your movers, so they can easily access the storage part of the moving truck.
– DIY work is definitely not an option for you, especially if there is a staircase involved. Also keep in mind that when your movers deliver the piano to you, it is not recommended that you tune it right away. Wait for at least 2 hours before you do this.
