There’s so much to consider when it comes to moving home; from finding the perfect removals company and carefully packing your belongings, to making sure you inform all relevant parties – whether that’s your bank, insurance company, utilities company or Royal Mail – of your change of address.
Of course, as part of your packing and preparation, it’s essential that all of your fragile, antique and highly treasured items, including musical instruments, are safely and securely packed ready for transportation – and pianos are no exception.
Despite having once formed the basis of many a comedy sketch, not least for the famous double act Laurel and Hardy, piano removals are no laughing matter. Indeed, the safe manoeuvring of such items can be considerably difficult and require a serious amount of careful planning and preparation prior to the move.
Pianos are delicate and intricate instruments, and while they will inevitably need returning following relocation, they cannot be moved in the same way as other large items of furniture. As such, they must be moved in a way as to prevent any damage to the piano itself, to other items of furniture or to the building they’re being relocated from or to.
