Why Pianos Require Specialized Movers
When moving a piano, the complexities are far greater than those of typical household items. Pianos are heavy and cumbersome. They’re intricately constructed with sensitive components that can easily be damaged.
At Parkview Moving Co., we are proficient in navigating these challenges. Our professionals are trained in specific techniques. Our team knows how to protect both the external body and the internal mechanics of your piano during a move. We employ specialized equipment designed to handle various piano types’ unique shapes and weights. Our goal is to ensure they are moved safely and efficiently.

DIY Piano Moving Tips
Embarking on a DIY piano move requires careful planning and execution. Professional services are recommended for their expertise and equipment. We do, however, understand that some may choose to handle this task independently. Here are detailed steps to guide you through the process. If you follow these steps, you can ensure the safety and integrity of your instrument during a self-move.
Preparation is key
The first step in a successful DIY piano move is thorough preparation. Start by carefully measuring all doors, stairways, and pathways the piano must pass through. It is crucial to ensure no surprises on a moving day. The last thing you want is to prevent the piano from fitting through an exit or entryway. Once measurements are taken, remove any doors along the route if necessary. Also, remember to secure loose floor coverings to prevent tripping.
Clearing the path of any obstacles is also essential. Remove furniture, rugs, decorative items, and anything else that could obstruct smooth movement or potentially cause damage. Planning your route with precision will protect your piano and help prevent personal injuries.
Gather the right equipment
To move a piano safely, specific equipment is necessary to accommodate its weight and size. Essential tools include:
Heavy-Duty Moving Straps
These will help distribute the weight of the piano more evenly and make it easier to control during the move.
A Furniture Dolly
Ensure it is sturdy enough to support the weight of your piano. A piano dolly can be especially useful if you need to move the piano over flat surfaces.
Protective Padding and Blankets
Wrap the piano to protect its surface from scratches, dents, and bumps. Pay special attention to corners and edges, which are particularly vulnerable. Using the correct equipment ensures the safety of the piano. It also makes the moving process much easier and safer for those involved.
Secure Help
Pianos are not only heavy, typically weighing anywhere from 300 to 1,000 pounds. Their shape can also make them awkward to maneuver. It’s imperative to have enough physically strong helpers who can assist with the heavy lifting and moving. A team of at least four people is recommended for most upright pianos. Grand pianos may require more helpers due to their size and the need to balance the instrument carefully.
Each helper should be briefed on the plan of action and their role in the move. Proper lifting techniques should be employed to avoid injury. This includes lifting from the knees and keeping the piano as level as possible. This avoids putting undue stress on any part of the instrument.
Consider safety and timing
When planning a DIY piano move, consider the physical logistics and timing of your move. Avoid rushing, as moving a piano requires careful handling and patience. Ensure that everyone involved understands the importance of moving slowly and deliberately. Plan your move during a time of day when you can take your time and when lighting conditions are favorable to ensure good visibility.
Following these detailed tips can help minimize the risks associated with moving a piano yourself. However, remember that hiring professional movers like Parkview Moving Co. can provide peace of mind, as professionals are equipped with the expertise and tools to ensure your piano’s safe relocation.
Piano Storage and Preservation
For many, a piano is more than an instrument – it’s a treasured piece of history and a bearer of countless memories. Recognizing this, Parkview Moving Co. provides top-tier storage services that guarantee your piano is preserved under optimal conditions.
Our Ottawa piano storage facilities are specifically designed to maintain a stable environment. This prevents the natural wood of your piano from warping or becoming damaged. Improper temperature and humidity levels are all factors to warping and damage. This service is ideal for those who might be in the process of relocating or renovating and need a secure place to keep their piano in the interim.
