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.
