Moving Tips

  1. 1Hire professional piano movers — pianos are extremely heavy, delicate, and expensive to repair if damaged.
  2. 2Never roll a piano on its casters on anything but a smooth, flat surface — use a piano board and dolly.
  3. 3Close and lock the keyboard lid to protect the keys during transport.
  4. 4Wrap the entire piano in moving blankets secured with straps, not tape (tape can damage the finish).
