Piano Removal Process
Along with the weight of a piano is the sheer size and often the awkwardness simply due to their unusual shape. There are some steps that can assist in the process.
Step 1 Contact a business at Industry Top 5.
Step 2 If you are not professionals then gather a crew! Nobody in history has moved a piano on their own – it’s just not possible, believe us, we know. So put the call out to your friends and family and get as many people as you can on board to help. At least 4 people (2 per side of piano) is the minimum.
Step 3 Get your hands on the right moving equipment ahead of time to make sure you have everything you need. You’ll need straps, furniture blankets, tape and of course – transport.
Step 4 Prepare your piano before you start moving it. We suggest closing the lid and fastening it closed to protect the keys throughout the move. Wrap your piano in furniture blankets and use the tape to keep it in place to protect the exterior
Step 5 Think ahead of time and have the destination spot for your piano clean and clear ready for the arrival.
Step 6 Establish and clear a path to ensure there are no obstacles in the way. This will avoid having to stop and start and of course, any injuries or damage.
Step 7 Now it’s time to move your piano. Our number one pointer is that your piano must always remain upright, so make sure that everyone is aware of this and that the piano is not tilted or laid down at any stage. Place straps underneath the piano so there is room to hold them on each side, you’ll use these to lift the piano up to slide the dolly’s underneath. Take time to balance the piano well before you move it.
Step 8 When loading your piano on the ramp or lift into the truck – wheel it on lighter side first.
Step 9 During the move your piano will likely be shifted out of tune so be sure to book it in for re-tuning when settled into its new location.
