The transport of your upright or grand piano by an approved specialist


Posted October 21, 2021 by pricepianocarriers

Moving a piano requires specificities and difficulties that imperatively involve calling on professionals. It is not recommended that you move your piano alone.

 
You will find below, a guide which can also be useful to you for those which have a piece of furniture or sculptures and other very heavy objects, with a size, a weight and especially an important value!
Move an upright grand piano or ¼ quarter grand piano.

With a weight often varying between 200 and 500 kilos or even much more for some models, the piano is one of the heaviest objects found in individuals who move. It is also one of the most valuable pieces of furniture.
But this is not a traditional piece of furniture, and moving a piano is not trivial. Therefore, to ensure the safety of the instrument, but also that of the people having to transport it, it is strongly recommended to use the services of a specialized transporter or a professional mover.

Indeed it is necessary to call a Piano deliveryprofessional of the removal for your piano with ¼ quarter of grand. Why would you tell me?

Quite simply because he will have to dismantle the piano so that it passes your front door. For the move of your grand piano it will generally cost you 1000 € since it will take the time to disassemble and reassemble the piano in the new housing.

With a specialized piano transporter
On the sidelines of your move, you can call on a specialist whose core business is the moving of heavy objects. Unlike a traditional moving company, this type of transporter has particular skills and organization acquired when moving hundreds of pianos...

In addition to being heavy and bulky, the piano is a fragile object, sensitive to temperature and humidity, as well as to shocks of course. In addition to their work force, piano removal teams are equipped with padded protective covers to prevent any impact against walls, door frames or even stair railings.

The transporter will also use straps, protections for the bench and the pedals (lyre), a transport sled and may also benefit from the help of a freight elevator if the situation requires it. This is often the case in Paris as well as in most large cities, when the buildings are not equipped with an elevator or with stairwells that are too narrow to accommodate a large volume such as a piano.

With a specialized mover

Considering its value and the difficulty of transporting it, not all professional movers accept the support of a piano. However, more and more providers offer an optional transport service (during a sale for example) and piano moving, with a team often dedicated to this type of service. The advantage of this formula is obviously not to have to call on several companies for your move. When moving in, your piano is thus moved at the same time as your sofa, your furniture and your boxes.

It is important to notify the mover of the presence of a piano. During the technical visit, he will be able to assess at best the volume to be moved, its condition and its weight, and determine the safest solution so that the move of your piano is done without a false note! In addition, the piano must appear in black and white among all the furniture and goods on the declaration of value.
