A beautiful piano is the centerpiece of a home, providing endless entertainment. When moving yours to a new house, make sure it’s handled properly. Mistakes when transporting heavy objects can have serious consequences, which is why it’s best to always hire piano movers. Here are three potential pitfalls of moving a piano yourself that should be avoided.

Why Moving a Piano Is Best Left to the Professionals 

1. Injury

Pianos are extremely heavy and require special tools for lifting and transporting. If you use the wrong moving dolly or don’t have enough assistance, you may drop it, which could cause an injury. When you hire professional piano movers, they bring all the needed tools, assistance, and safety gear to get the job done correctly.

2. Damage

Along with the risk of injury, you may also damage the piano. Piano repair can be extremely expensive, and damaging keys or internal parts may require extensive restoration. At worst, the piano may be ruined. You also want to avoid damaging your home while moving it as well. 

3. Liability 

If you injure someone else or damage property while transporting the piano, you risk facing legal consequences. This can result in expensive attorney’s fees and spending unwanted time in court. Hiring professional piano movers to ensure a safe, secure move costs a fraction of the amount of a potential lawsuit.
