Learn Piano > Piano Movers
Like many trades, piano moving is a speciality to itself and the average upright piano can weigh between 400-1000 pounds and upwards and even more for grand pianos.
Moving pianos from one room to another or down a flight of stairs in the house is enough of a task on it's own nevermind moving pianos to another house.
Piano movers are a perfect solution for if your are thinking about moving you piano. Piano movers have one heck of a job that involves moving pianos through flights of stairs, in lifts, and may even require cranes.
With respect to health and safety, moving pianos definitely falls into a high risk category. With the awkward shapes and heavy weights involved, it is extremely easy for people who lack experience to seriously injure themselves and possibly others.
It's not worth taking the chance to save a few pounds, and most companies can offer a very competitive quote whatever your requirements.
Of course the care and consideration of moving your piano is especially important so it does make sense to hire professionals with the right piano moving equipment. This is why most household movers do not include the cost of piano moving.
This includes solid beech wood transport skids, padded bespoke covers, load bearing webbing and custom made piano trolleys which are designed to take enormous forces and be manoeuvrable in the tightest of spots.
So what about piano moving costs? Well you should aim to get a quote for the entire piano moving cost rather than an hourly rate and the cost can vary depending on the type of piano, distance it's being moved, difficultly, the man-power required and the waiting time you may incur on the piano movers.
The piano movers will ask you some questions about the job involved so that they can give you an accuarate quote.
