Imagine this: your guests are sitting in your living room. There is complete silence in the room. Every eye is on you. You play one of Beethoven's composition on your shiny black, grand piano. The guests loved it and your room echoed with applause. Fast forward to today, you are now in the middle of moving out. The entire house is filled with brown cardboard boxes. There, in the center of your room is the covered piano. You now think about how to take your prized possession to your new abode.
Thank your stars that you have found this article because here, we will tell you how to move your piano. Read the article to find out how you can safely move your piano from one place to another.

Tips to Safely Move Your Piano

1. Prepare the Piano

Before you start the moving process, it is recommended that you prepare the piano for the big move. For that, all you have to do is take the legs of the piano off it. This will help you move the instrument in a better manner. It also ensures that the legs are not broken during the move - which can be a bit rough. Taking off the legs also makes the piano a bit lighter, which makes it easier for you to move it around.

2. Dress for the Job

Wear comfortable clothes that don't have tussles or buttons that can get attached to the piano. Clothes or jewelry pieces that will get caught in any of the gears will end up damaging your piano and since this musical instrument doesn't come under the affordable range, it is best that you be extra careful when handling it.

3. Pianos first

When you are moving out, you are likely to fill a moving truck with plenty of items. In that case, it is better if you load the piano before you load other items. This way, the piano will be deep inside the truck and you can support other boxes.

4. Keep the Piano in Balance

Even though pianos are heavy, they have delicate legs. Before moving the piano, it is important to understand how to balance the instrument. If your piano is off-balance, you may end up hurting its inner workings. So, don't rush when moving the piano and go slowly.  If you are moving it on a ramp, go with the bass-key side as it is much heavier.

Summary

​The piano is perhaps the most expensive musical instrument. You will have to pay thousands of dollars to own a set of piano. Even though the piano is a large-sized instrument, it is extremely delicate from the inside. If it is not handled properly, you will end up breaking its strings - making the entire instrument useless. This is why it is important to take care of the piano when moving it from one location to another. And this is why it is recommended to avail the services of professional movers who know all about moving a piano safely.
