Rockville Piano Movers

It's possible to move a piano by yourself, but it's important to be prepared.

Have several strong friends to help you.

Carefully move your piano onto a piano board, strapping it down to make sure it's secure. Once you get it into the moving truck, secure it to the truck with more straps.

Typically, base rates for moving an upright piano start at $200 while grand pianos costs start from $300.

Final costs for piano moving can increase based on season and the difficulty of accessing and placing the piano.

We'll use moving pads and protective floor runners to avoid damage or scratching to hardwood floors.

Very often normal movers are unable to handle moving a piano without any damage. It takes experience to move a piano safely.

Special equipment is needed and only experienced piano movers will reliably get your valued musical instrument to its new location safely.

No, moving a piano on its back or on its side will not harm a piano. A piano can be moved, tilted or rotated without doing damage.

If your piano is dropped or bumped damage may occur.

You should check the inside of your piano for any foreign objects and give the exterior a quick dusting. Prior to your movers arrival clear all paths and walkways.

On the day of your move, our piano movers will disassemble the pedals and other detachable pieces for you.

A piano should be tuned with each change of location, unless the move is within a single building. Moving from one room to another part of your home shouldn't cause any problems unless the climate is different such as in colder patios or garages.

We won't judge you, but the natural way to listen to orchestral instruments, including pianos, is on a hard floor. The reverberation off hard surfaces will greatly improve the sound of your instrument.
