The process of relocating your upright piano is best left to the experts. While a quick look to the upright piano would have you thinking they are easy to move,How Professional Piano Movers Austin Can Safely Move Your Upright Pianos Articles that is not the case. There are several reasons that make upright piano moving extremely difficult. That’s why, anytime the prospects of your relocation become a sure thing, it is advisable that you contract a professional moving company like Piano Movers Austin.



Piano moving is no easy chore. Don't think that just because your piano is not the grand-type the feat will be less difficult. Well, you're wrong. An upright piano also has its complications due to its heaviness, its delicate outer surfaces and its very sensitive inner parts. Moreover, your concern is not only confined to your unit but it also extends to a variety of obstacles found in your home. Structural details such as a flight of stairs, narrow doorways, tight corner spots and many others will impose severe difficulty and even serious risks to you and your inexperienced group.



By hiring Piano Movers Austin, you can guarantee that your cherished upright piano will be safely moved to your desired destination. This veteran piano-moving company will undertake the necessary steps to have your piano relocated intact, scratch-free and dent-free to your new home.



The first step that Piano Movers Austin will do is to provide sufficient number of people for the job. A crew of four is enough muscle to safely move the possible 500-700 lb. unit. Next, they'll make sure that any loose part is kept secured. The keyboard cover is locked or strapped up so that it doesn't unintentionally open during the move. The piano is then protected with thick blankets to avoid incurring scratches or dents. It will then be loaded onto a dolly or trolley with pneumatic wheels for ease of transport.



In moving the upright piano, maintaining the vertical orientation is a must. This experienced crew knows that putting the unit to the side can shift the hammers inside causing some of your piano keys to get stuck. As much as possible, they will limit the side tipping unto necessary moves like passing through tight corners or traversing through the stairs.



When putting your piano inside the truck, it will be removed from the dolly to avoid being jolted while in transit. Your unit will have to be strapped into the wall of the truck for a stable transport. The same loading caution will also be exercised when unloading and putting your upright piano into your new abode.
