Moving a piano is not for the fainthearted as you will need to have some, if not a lot of piano moving experience to be able to move the piano safely to it’s new destination.

Pianos are very expensive and require specialist packaging to avoid damaging them. Piano covers are available to ensure maximum protection when transporting your piano to a new location.

Once the piano has been moved it is a good idea to have it retuned to get back the best sound out of your piano.

Simple Tips For Piano Moving Leicester

Make sure you clear the path the piano will travel.
Using a tape measure, measure the piano and the doorways it will pass through.
Use piano covers, bubble wrap and removal blankets to add extra protection.
Use a piano dolly (a dolly is wheels the piano is moved on) and piano shoe (a shoe is a long board to protect the piano from resting on the floor) to move the piano from A to B especially grand pianos.
Secure the piano. Strap the piano to the dolly using piano straps.
Use a ramp to manuver the piano up and down steps and on to the vehicle if you dont have the benefit of a tailift.
Finally strap the piano to the vehicle to avoid it shifting or moving when in transit to the new location.

Remember never try to move the piano yourself unless you have spoken to a professional piano moving company in Leicester.
