COST OF MOVING A PIANO:
The cost of moving a piano will vary depending on many things, where is your piano located within your home, what type of piano it is, and how far away are you planning on moving it. As previously mentioned the type and size of your instrument will require different techniques and movers, for example with a bigger and more delicate one we will send you more people rather than when moving a smaller piano. Once you give us a call, we will come to look at it at your house and plan the move accordingly. The main pianos we deal with here at St George Moving are Grand pianos, upright ones, and spinet pianos. Making the average piano about 600 pounds, no wonder when needing to move one you have to call an expert in the field. |
WILL MOVING A PIANO PUT IT OUT OF TUNE?
No, unless moved improperly. If you try to move a piano yourself or ask someone that is not trained to do so not only it may end up getting your piano out of tune, but it could also break it. Pianos will also go out of tune if left in the wrong environment while moving, for example in a hot truck without the right temperature, or somewhere very dry/humid. A piano will need to stay somewhere where the temperature stays between 70 and 72 Fahrenheit. The temperature is not the only thing that could and will affect an instrument. Things like the amount of direct light and the quality of air will also affect it. Being such a delicate piece, it is essential to only handle it with the proper care and the right equipment. |
CAN REGULAR MOVERS MOVE A PIANO?
No, I mean yes technically speaking anyone with the strength of moving 600-800 pounds can, but that doesn't mean they will be able to actually move your piano and bring it to the destination as you left it. If you own a piano, it's either because you play it, or care about it some other way, could be left by a friend or family member. Either way, we know and understand how precious and fragile this instrument can be. It is often very tricky since pianos are so heavy, but at the same time so delicate. They require both a large amount of strength and delicate care to avoid any damage.
The moving distance will also be essential when discussing the price of a moving service, not only the distance, but the difficulty to get it to your final location, the harder the more the cost will be. Take into consideration that our team members can really get the job done as fast as possible within the proper care. Make sure to let our team members know of any obstacle, or risks while going from one location to the other so they can prepare in advantage. Some examples of obstacles while moving a piano are staircases, steep paths, or smaller hallways. The more information we receive about your relocation, and personal needs the better we will be able to perform and handle your moving with the best care.
If you want to be precise with us, before you give us a call measure the height from lid to the floor, and find out the piano model. Our team members will be able to look it up and decide how to handle it.
If you are wondering how much it would be for us to move your piano, give us a call today and we will put you in contact with our experts and they will be able to give you a price. If you can't call us then just fill out the form above.
