Why Grand Pianos Need Specialists
Grand Pianos Weigh 1,200 Pounds and Break Easily
A concert grand can weigh 1,200 pounds. A parlor grand 800-1,000 pounds. Beyond weight, the shape is awkward - long body, projecting keyboard, three legs that need to come off for safe transport. General movers with regular dollies aren\’t equipped for this.
Our grand piano crews use specialized skid boards designed for grand piano shape and weight distribution. Legs come off carefully, piano tilts onto padded skid, wrapped in blankets, strapped, and rolled to the truck. Reverse at destination. Every move handled by movers who have moved 100+ grand pianos.
