When arranging your move, one of the main items you'll need to plan around is your piano. This is one of the largest items in a home and also one of the most delicate. While you may hope to save money by moving it yourself, you're better off handing this task over to a reputable mover. Here are a few reasons why. 

Why Hire a Moving Company to Transfer Your Piano

1. Use the Right Equipment

Pianos are bulky, and some of the larger ones may not fit in certain moving vans and trailers. Even if the piano fits, you need a way to secure it against the bumps and the vibration of travel. A professional moving service will bring a large enough truck and the right straps and equipment to protect your piano on the road.

2. Avoid Damage

MoverEven getting the piano out to the moving van comes with risks. The legs of the instrument are delicate compared to the rest of it, and they can snap off. It’s also easy to scratch or dent the wood. Some pianos also have thin, vulnerable back panels. Repairing a piano is expensive, so you want to leave moving it to professional movers. Not only do you want their expertise, but you also want to be protected under their insurance. They'll be financially liable if there is damage, so you won't have to foot the bill.

3. Ensure Safety 

Not only can the instrument itself be damaged while moving, but lifting it incorrectly can also cause injuries. It's a heavy item with an awkward shape and a tendency to tip, so it could hurt someone if dropped. Once again, a professional mover has the strength and experience to prevent accidents, and if someone is injured, it will be covered by their employer, so you won't end up at the wrong end of a lawsuit.
