I inherited my moms piano and needed it moved into the basement room of my home. These guys did an amazing job and handled a precious family heirloom with the greatest of care. Solid professionals. I definitely recommend.
They were great! I called and discussed the arrangements, and they arranged to quickly pick up the piano I was buying - they even offered to pick it up that same day. We ended up going with the next day. My piano arrived in good condition. They even waited for me to get home with the coasters, and they put them under the legs for me. Very kind, responsive, and helpful. I’d definitely recommend them and use them again, if needed.
Movers and owner were awesome to work with. Able to be more than accommodating with the time frame I needed the piano to be moved in. Even got it done early, movers were very kind and professional and didn't mind me asking them to move it a few different ways before I decided how the piano should sit. Took very good care of the piano itself as well. Good pricing too, two men and a truck wanted more than double what I paid. Would def recommend this company!
Once your piano has been relocated, you will want to have a tuning completed. It is a good idea to allow the piano to adjust to its new surroundings and to acclimate for at least a week before calling the tuner, however.
Industry statistics indicate that pianos were most popular in the 1970s and early 1980s, when an average of more than 200,000 pianos were sold in the US each year.
Pianos are magnificent instruments. The total string tension in a concert grand is close to thirty tons, and a boxed model D Steinway Grand Piano weighs 1,400 pounds. Knowing how to properly transport these instruments is a must.
No matter what kind of piano you have, you can provide some help to us with some simple measurements. If you have an upright piano, simply measure the height. On the other hand, with a grand piano, you need to measure from the end of the tail to the end of the keyboard at its longest point.
There are several pieces of information that we are going to need in order to determine the best approach to moving your piano. This includes the make, model, and year of the instrument, as well as whether it’s a grand piano or upright.
