Grand Pianos

Moving grand pianos can be very difficult and time consuming task, particularly for people who are inexperienced. It is also important to note that moving grand pianos can be a potentially dangerous task and there is a risk of injury to the people moving the instruments and also a chance of damaging the grand pianos themselves. Because of the risks involved moving grand pianos is a task that should only ever be attempted by trained professionals.

When piano moving firms are required to move grand pianos they will make uses of a variety of specialist equipment. Specially designed fitted covers are placed over the body of grand pianos to protect them from damage during the move. These covers also help reduce the impact of sudden changes in environmental factors such as temperature and humidity. Cranes are often used in moving of grand pianos, particularly if they need to be brought down from a floor of a building above ground level. Grand pianos are typically far too large and cumbersome to be moved down flights of stairs, so the using a crane is often the only method that can be used. Also firms that move grand pianos will have a special insurance policy to cover them against any accidents that could occur during the moving process.
