Pianos are large and awkwardly shaped. This makes them very hard to move, and so, most people hire piano movers. At first, the cost of hiring a piano moving company may seem a bit high, you have to consider this: you're paying for more than just getting the piano from Point A to Point B. Here's where the true value of the service lies.
1. Protecting the piano from changes in humidity
Pianos are really susceptible to damage as a result of changes in humidity levels. Your home is probably at a standard 45 - 55% humidity, but the outdoors could be more humid. This could cause the piano's wooden structures and its strings to absorb moisture. Then, when the piano is moved back into a less-humid space, these materials will release moisture and may warp and bow in the process. Not only could this change the look of your piano, but it could irreparably change the way it sounds. A piano moving company will keep this from happening by transporting your piano in a climate-controlled moving truck. Inside such a truck, the humidity will probably be kept between 45 and 55% — the same as the average home.
2. Keeping the piano upright and therefore in-tune
Pianos are really designed to be kept upright. If they are transported on their sides or even carried on their sides, then they can fall out of tune. Sometimes this is fixable, and other times it is not. You're best off erring on the side of caution and keeping the piano upright. A piano moving company is most capable of doing this. Their employees are trained to carry and move pianos in an upright position, and they also have the equipment — including straps and moving trucks — to do it.
3. Preventing injuries
Since pianos are so big and oddly shaped, the average person is likely to injure themselves when moving a piano. It's far too easy to drop a piano on your foot or strain your back while lifting. Professional piano movers have the equipment, strength, and know-how to avoid these injuries. So by hiring a piano moving company, you are protecting yourself and anyone who you would have helped you.
Piano moving companies have a real value, and it is a good idea to hire one. They will keep your piano safe from humidity damage, allow you to avoid injuries, and keep the piano in tune.
