Piano Moving

Pianos bring a touch of class and sophistication to any room even if you don’t know how to play a single note. From spinners to uprights to baby grands, they’re a piece of eye candy that you’ll want to protect and preserve from one generation to the next. 

At Element Moving, we’ve long had a love for the 88 keys, and it shows in the way that we store and move them for the clients we serve. Here’s what you can expect when you opt for our piano moving services. 

Protection Every Step of the Way

Residential moving jobs can be tricky, especially when you start throwing staircases and other obstacles into the mix. The typical moving company has one goal in mind: get it from point A to point B. They don’t take the extra time to address concerns during the move itself. They fail to ask the right questions about what might cause wear-and-tear on the piano when it’s coming out of the departure point, or when it’s sitting on the truck, or when it’s coming off the truck.

It’s just about getting the job “done.” 

At Element Moving, we believe your piano deserves more TLC. That’s why we will make note of the dimensions of the piano. We’ll look at the space we’re leaving and the one to which we’re going. We’ll look at the length of the destination and the method of transport. From there, you can expect proactive steps like the following: 

• Pad-wrapping for extra security on the road and in the truck
• Leg removal
• Custom box creation around the dimensions of the piano itself
• Climate-controlled storage
• Usage of a piano board for easier transport and stability

These are but a few of the steps we take. And we’ve done it all — from the typical household spinner to ornate concert pianos. 

Breakdown and Reconstruction

Another feature we offer is one we’ve already mentioned in part. It’s the breakdown and reconstruction feature. Some pianos are too difficult to move as a whole piece. Environmental obstacles also may add to your headache. In these cases, we will take the time to carefully remove legs and other removable pieces to reduce the likelihood of a bump or scratch during the move. 

When we get to the delivery point, we’ll bring the piano into the room where you want it and re-install each part, just like new. This makes it easier to take turns and corners without scuffing the wood or damaging one of the removable parts. 

Play It Again with Element Moving

We realize this is a niche service, but it’s an important one to us because millions of Americans own pianos and value them as family heirlooms as much as they do musical instruments.

We want you to know if you’re a piano owner with a big move on the horizon, you won’t have to worry about a thing as long as Element Moving is your partner. Contact us today to learn more and have any remaining questions answered. We look forward to hearing from you.
