Spinet, upright, baby grand or grand piano - the heavier the piano, the better quality it is, so it makes sense to have your piano moved by professionals. A piano is more than just a piece of furniture - for many music lovers it is an investment, family heirloom, and a source of great enjoyment. When it's time to move, homeowners need to put their piano in good hands, whether you are moving across the street or across the country.

Pianos aren't easy to move! They typically weigh anywhere from 300 to 1,200 lbs., thanks to the iron harp that holds the strings. Pianos are large and awkward in shape and weight distribution. Whenever something this large and valuable needs to be moved, there is the potential for damage - to the piano and to the movers! Replacing a dropped piano or facing potential injuries from trying to move it yourself could cost you thousands of dollars. Having your piano professionally moved will save time, money and give you peace of mind that your investment is handled with precision and care.

Packing is the first priority when having your piano professionally moved. The piano needs to be wrapped carefully with pads and blankets, and the internal moving parts so vital to the piano's quality may need to be stabilized as well. Safely encasing your piano will prevent costly scrapes and damage to the finish. The professionals at Get Your Move On wrap every piece of furniture with care and their own unique "Pampered Moving Process". They take the time to skillfully secure the padded blankets so they won't slip off and result in dings or scratches to your piano.

A professional mover will know that the casters on a piano should not be relied on for moving. They have often gotten "stuck" or have started to deteriorate, and may gouge floors and finishes. Trying to push a piano on a stuck caster can also result in a broken leg on the piano. Once your piano is carefully wrapped and padded, the next step is getting it in motion. A dolly is crucial to moving a piano. It can be used on a ramp, or to get the piano up over curbs or a step. Professional movers will know how to position the piano properly and how to maneuver it over uneven ground, up steps and around corners - not an easy feat! It's amazing how the knowledge and experience of professionals can make moving a huge, 800 lb piano seem almost effortless, while you breathe a sigh of relief.
