How to move a piano?

Find your question

Moving a piano requires proper planning and the right supplies. It is essential to take your time and follow the appropriate steps to ensure a safe move. With these tips in hand, you can make sure that moving day goes as smoothly as possible without any damage or harm done to your piano!

Preparation: supplies & tools. Gather all of the necessary supplies, such as moving blankets, furniture straps, dollies, hand trucks and others. Moving blankets are essential for protecting the piano during transport. Furniture straps provide additional stability when lifting large items like pianos; using them properly can help prevent an accident from happening. Dollies and hand trucks can be used to safely lift heavier objects without straining your back.
Disassembling the piano. In order to ensure that a piano is well-prepared for disassembly, begin by looking at all of its parts. For example, if there are any removable legs or casters on the body of the piano, they should be taken off first before attempting any other steps.
Packing the piano. Before packing a piano for transport, you need to secure all loose parts, such as pedals and stands. If possible, wrap each part individually in bubble wrap or another cushioning material for extra protection during transit.
Lifting and transporting. It’s important to find someone with expertise when lifting and transporting a piano. Our expert piano movers will have the necessary tools to safely lift and secure your instrument for transport. With correct techniques like using sliders on carpeted surfaces, smart loading locations, pads for protection from scratches or dents, and proper weight distribution, your instrument can be moved without the worry of damage.
Reassembling the piano. Locate all the components of the instrument, such as pedals, keys, dampers, hammers, strings and other pieces. Next, you should attach each part to its respective place on the frame of the piano using screws or other fasteners. After all parts have been put back together correctly, you must also make sure that all tuning pins are properly tightened.
