Choosing Piano Movers
Filed Under Piano Movers, Pianos, moving companies | 1 Comment
When it comes to choosing piano movers, you can never be too thorough. After all you are entrusting a very expensive and delicate instrument into their care.
As with any company that you are considering doing business with you will need to research their reputation before giving the piano moving company serious consideration. The obvious and often overlooked method for doing this is by calling the references that they provide. Many people think that if someone provides names as references then those people will offer glowing recommendations. This could not be farther from the truth. In reality references will often open your eyes to problem areas or additional considerations that you may not have thought of.
One question you should always ask of the references is whether the actually had a piano moved. This is especially the case if you are contracting with a general moving company as opposed to a company that exclusively moves pianos.
Another method of checking out a piano movers reputation is to call the local Better Business Bureau or check the BBB online. If there were ever any complaints filed you will be able to see these here.
Word of mouth is another tried and true method. Word gets around, and it is nice to choose somebody that comes highly recommended.

Piano Movers Montreal

The City of Montreal has long been a cultural center for musicians and artists. It is not surprising then that piano movers in Montreal are in high demand. A community that values the arts will indeed require the best care for the very instruments that make the creative spirit possible - their pianos.
Actually finding Montreal piano movers can be a bit difficult. One Montreal piano mover that specializes in moving this type of instrument is Braymore Delivery Company. Another such company is Les Pianos Securs. While I cannot vouch for either of their reputations - they claim to have an expertise in this type of move. As I have mentioned before, it is imperative that you thoroughly check references and reputation of the piano moving company that you ultimately choose.
Another option - if local movers cannot be found is to go with large national or international piano movers. An example here is Modern Piano Moving. As opposed to local piano movers Montreal, these national and international companies are prepared to go long distances because they are specialists.
Transporting a prized instrument can be a stressful experience. But if you do your homework before the big move, the transition should go well.
Why Hire Piano Movers?

Should You Move Your Own Piano?
Here the answer is a resounding and emphatic - NO! You should absolutely hire piano movers for the job.
Trying to move your own piano can result in injury to yourself and your instrument. This attempt to save time and money can easily backfire. Both your and your piano’s medical bills will be more than the cost of the piano movers! All joking aside, this is one area where hiring a professional crew is imperative.
Why? Primarily because of the size, shape, and weight of the piano. These unwieldy instruments can easily top a thousand pounds. Add to that their awkward shape and you have a recipe for an accident waiting to happen. Plus, the weight of a piano is not balanced - with the keyboard side being lighter than the rest.
Piano movers make the job look easy, when in reality they have the right tools, skills, and experience to pull the move off without a hitch.
My advice? Leave this job to the piano movers and cut corners on another, more easily handled, aspect of your move.
