Moving an upright piano can be a daunting task, but with a little preparation and patience, it can be done safely and efficiently. Whether you’re moving your piano to a new home, or simply rearranging your living space, here are some steps to help you move your upright piano.

1. Plan your route

Before you start moving your piano, you need to plan the route you’ll be taking. This is especially important if you’re moving the piano up or down stairs. Measure the width of doorways and hallways to ensure that the piano will fit through. Check that the floors are level and free of any obstacles that could cause tripping or slipping. If necessary, remove any furniture or other items that might get in the way.

2. Gather your supplies

You’ll need some supplies to help you move your piano. First and foremost, you’ll need a sturdy dolly or piano skid. This should be able to support the weight of your piano and have enough clearance to clear any obstacles in your path. You’ll also need a few straps or ropes to secure the piano to the dolly, as well as some blankets or padding to protect the piano from scratches and dings.

3. Prepare the piano for moving

Before you start moving your piano, you need to prepare it for transport. This means removing all of the loose objects from the top of the piano, such as lamps, books, sheet music, and figurines. Secure the piano lid and pedals with packing tape or bungee cords to prevent them from flopping around during transport. Finally, use a vacuum cleaner or feather duster to clean any dust or debris off the piano.

4. Lift the piano onto the dolly

With one person at each end of the piano, carefully lift the piano onto the dolly. Secure the piano to the dolly with the straps or ropes, making sure that it’s tight and secure. If your piano is particularly heavy, you may need a third person to help you lift it onto the dolly.

5. Move the piano

Once the piano is securely fastened to the dolly, you’re ready to move it. Use the dolly handles to carefully guide the piano along your planned route. Keep one person at the front of the piano to steady it and ensure that the dolly stays on course. If you’re moving the piano up or down stairs, take it one step at a time, and make sure that the person at the front of the piano can see where they’re going.

6. Unload the piano

When you’ve reached your destination, carefully lift the piano off the dolly and place it where you want it to go. Remove the straps or ropes and packing tape or bungee cords from the lid and pedals. Finally, use the vacuum cleaner or feather duster to clean any dust or debris off the piano.

Moving an upright piano can be a challenging task, but with these steps, you can move your piano safely and efficiently. Whether you’re moving your piano to a new home or simply rearranging your living space, following these tips will help you keep your piano in good condition and avoid any damage during transport.
