If you live in Barnet and you are thinking of moving a piano, then there are plenty of things that you need to plan. Moving a piano from one place to another is no easy task. Pianos are incredibly heavy and very large, and they are also very delicate. They do not enjoy being moved from one location to another!
Very few people realize that a piano needs to ease into a location. Its strings will loosen to a level that it is happy with, depending on the humidity, temperature, and even what it is standing on. That means that moving a piano from the place where it is happy is no small task!
There are plenty of practical tips that we can give you about moving your piano. This should make the task that little bit easier. Here are our top three tips that you should definitely be considering as you plan your piano removal:
The most easily broken part of a piano are the keys because they are very delicate. You need to put the lid down over the keys. Many pianos will also have a lock to make sure that it will stay down. If your piano does not have a lock for the keys, then you will need to use strapping to ensure that it does not open and close during the moving process.
Our packaging materials include covers that can be wrapped around the piano if it needs transporting in a van. Alternatively, you can use your own blankets and sheets. When it comes to piano removals Barnet Removals really has thought of everything. We can help with packing up and moving the piano. We also help with moving the accessories: such as music stands, books, and the piano stool.
You cannot simply lift a piano like you would a table: pianos are constructed in a much more complicated way. This means that moving them will be more complicated too. There are special heavy-duty straps and strapping that is typically used when moving a piano, and you should not use anything else. It is up to you whether you decide to buy the strapping and other pieces of equipment yourself, or whether you will hire it.
This is the biggest mistake that people make when they move a piano. They do not even bother to make sure that their piano is insured! Pianos are expensive, and you do not want to be left with a huge bill if the removal of your piano does not go to plan. Talk this through with your insurance company, and make them aware that you are going to move the piano. You may need a special policy for your piano being in transit.
