Piano Movers Atlanta
Moving is a stressful time for everyone! When it comes to the moving you company you hire, be sure to consider the unique needs of your piano. A piano is not just another bulky piece of furniture. It's a complex instrument with delicate inner workings that can be badly damaged if improperly handled by movers without the training and experience with piano moving. Not only are pianos fragile, they are large, heavy instruments! A piano can weigh several hundred pounds and up to 1000 pounds depending on the model and type of material used for the piano's construction.
Most moving companies lack the proper training and knowledge on the inner workings of a piano to be able to move the instrument with regard for the function of the instrument itself. Safe transit of a piano does not merely include the ability to handle a heavy, bulky item. A piano expert understands that different orientations and gravitational forces on a piano can cause warping and other damage to the instrument. Depending on the size of the piano and accessibility to the space of transport, some degree of disassembly may be required to move your piano to its new home. Special packaging is always required! Special equipment, hoists and even cranes are used to safely transport a piano. Most movers are not well versed in piano moving methods There are many great movers in the Atlanta area, but not all movers are piano specialists. Don't leave it to chance! Call your Atlanta Piano moving company to ensure that your piano makes it to its new location safe, sound and ready to play for years to come!
Pianos are incredibly intricately built and delicate instruments despite their large size. Most pianos aren't going to fit through your standard doorways, up and down stairs and around corners very easily. A degree of disassembly of the instrument, careful packaging and reassembly in the piano's new environment is often in order. Precision in care is the cornerstone of any piano move.
Pianos are HEAVY and bulky besides! Even in their disassembled state they require special dollies and hoists that are able to move 1000 pounds without compromising the safety to the instrument or to the location's property. This equipment is a large investment for many moving companies, which is why it's best to work with professional piano movers.
Did you know? In many cases, depending on the piano's intended location, a crane will need to be utilized to place a piano in the upper floor of a building or home. This is delicate, serious stuff! Not only is the safety of your instrument of the utmost importance, the safety to the building's structure and all of those involved in the move is extremely important.
At The Grand Piano Moving Company, our teams have moved hundreds of pianos and organs successfully, without damage to the instrument, location or injury to our staff or clients.
Our teams of movers are dedicated piano moving specialists. We've moved every type of piano you can think of! Spinet Pianos, Upright Pianos, Baby Grand Pianos, Grand Pianos and even Organs. We love the challenge of a unique piano and the story of a treasured family heirloom.
A piano is a special item that causes anxiety in even the most experienced movers. In fact, many local moving companies refer their clients with pianos over to us because of the challenging nature of Piano moving. Our teams are specially trained on the art and science of piano moving to become experts in their field.
Each piano move is fully insured from the Piano itself, to the home and building concerns and our teams and clients for injury liability. Depending on the type of move undertaken and the overall value of the piano in question, additional insurance may be required to ensure that your asset is protected and your peace of mind is ensured.
We work with a network of accredited Piano Technicians from tuners to artisans able to tune your piano or undertake any repair or refurbishment that your instrument may require. If your piano could use a tune up after a move, or is in need of a major repair, we have the team of experts that can get the job done!
Piano Tuners Atlanta
It's recommended that after your piano is moved that you have it tuned to tighten any pins that may have come loose during the move. This causes strings to lose tension and go a little out of tune. You don't need to have had your piano moved by us to contact us for a piano tune-up! While most of our Atlanta Piano Tuning clients are those whose pianos we've had the honor of moving in the past, we are here to serve all of the pianos of Atlanta!
We love meeting piano enthusiasts of all backgrounds! Each piano is a unique instrument with a special story and we consider it our honor to keep it playing beautifully for years to come. We work with homeowners, churches, schools, piano teachers, concert halls and more to keep their instruments in top playing order and in perfect pitch!
Has it been a while since your piano was tuned? Many of our clients remark on the improved clarity and quality of sound that their piano produces after a tune up. In many cases, as pianos slowly go out of tune it's hard to tell when it's gone slightly off-key. Maybe you have a new piano? New Pianos should be tuned a minimum of two times the first year of service while the strings and pins "settle in". Pianos that are played frequently such as concert pianos or pianos used for lessons can also benefit from tuning every 6 months. It's recommended that the standard home piano be tuned once a year.
Maybe you inherited an instrument or bought a used piano? It's a good idea to have a Piano Technician examine your piano for any possible issues and to get it into tune for you!
