Why Should You NEVER Try Moving Your Piano Yourself

Pianos are incredibly expensive musical instruments. They are nothing short of grand (pun intended), which is why they’re so expensive in the first place. Pianos have a class that sets them apart, and if you own one, you would know just how delicate these musical instruments are.
If you want to move your piano from one room to the other, you may think you can do it yourself; however, in reality, moving a piano is not something you can do on your own. Pianos are insanely heavy to begin with. They are also very delicate, which means even the slightest jerk can damage them.  We have listed a number of reasons why moving a piano yourself is not such a great idea.

1.     Moving A Piano Requires Skills and Technique

While you may think that moving a piano is the same as moving any other piece of furniture, that is not the case at all! Moving a piano is anything but a DIY project. A piano can weigh more than 500 pounds, and moving such a heavy-weight item is a technical job. To be able to do it right, you need to have certain skills and techniques. Since you are not equipped with what’s needed to do the job right, you are bound to make a mistake that might cost you!

2.     You Might Damage Your Piano

Let’s say you have enough people to help you move a piano from one room to the other; even then,  moving a piano yourself is not recommended. As we mentioned earlier, apart from being heavy, pianos are also incredibly delicate. You can easily scratch the beautiful exterior or break any of the pedals. The keyboard has to be properly covered and secured too. The mechanics of the piano are extremely fragile, and even the slightest jerk can do significant damage.

3.     You Might Damage Your Home

Pianos are bulky. It is extremely difficult to move them through doorways, corridors, and stairways. The chances that you might damage the paint on the walls or damage a door during the task are fairly high.

4.     You May Get Tangled With Insurance Company

Any damages that occur to your property or the piano during the piano moving job can turn out to be a nightmare for you. The first possibility is that you simply pay for damage repair out of your pocket. The other possibility is filing an insurance claim, and this is where things can turn a bit frustrating. Claims tend to increase your rates. This is another reason why moving a piano yourself is looked down upon. When you hire a professional piano moving company, their insurance covers your damages.

Summary

​Moving a piano yourself is not recommended for a number of reasons, including damage to the piano, your home, or both, and trouble with insurance claims. Hiring a professional to move your piano is what you should do to move the piano around your home!
