What to look for in a piano mover

What you should look for in an expert piano mover:

1.       Check their reviews

A well-established and reputable piano moving service should have helpful reviews in your local area. A reputation is not something to take lightly, and any company worth their salt would have fought tooth and nail to build and protect their reputation as an expert moving company. Similarly, how long have they been around for? It’s true that new companies can be very good, but there is weight behind a long history of excellence!

2.       Professional attitude

Like their reputation, consider your future movers attitude. When you speak with them by phone, in-person, by email or even on their website how do they present themselves? One would hope they would have a professional and courteous attitude, responsible and forthright. How does this relate to the job at hand? Well, if they can have such a good attitude and image, then they are more likely to take care when moving your piano. Much more so than a company with a sloppy image.

3.       Technique

Pianos come in all shapes and sizes, from the massive grand piano (or baby grand!) or the upright pianos that come in all sizes. Or even if you are moving an organ. And like any other company around, piano movers can sometimes specialise in one type. Be sure to check if they have the right technique or experience with the type of piano you are looking to move.

4.       Experience

No situation is the same, just as no piano is ever the same. And every location being moved to or from will be different. Has the piano mover you are considering had experience with a similar location? If you are moving into an apartment then ask if they have experience moving into or out of an apartment. Familiarity with the situation and circumstance can have a significant impact on the quality of their service (and downsizing the risk to your grand instrument!)
