At McMurry Piano Moving, we utilize advanced methods and specialized equipment designed specifically for the safe and efficient relocation of pianos. Moving these intricate instruments requires more than muscle—it demands a deep understanding of their structure and sensitivity. We start by carefully assessing each piano's size, shape, and the layout of the space it needs to be moved from or into, ensuring we account for tight corners, staircases, and any other obstacles.
For particularly delicate moves, we use padded blankets and custom piano covers to shield the instrument from any potential scratches, dents, or environmental changes during the transition. Our team disassembles parts of the piano when necessary, such as the legs or pedals, to ensure secure transportation through narrow doorways or down flights of stairs. We also employ specialized piano dollies, skids, and hoisting equipment to move the piano safely, even in the most challenging spaces.
In multi-story moves, we rely on stair padding, lifting straps, and piano boards designed to distribute weight evenly and prevent undue stress on the instrument or the surrounding area. For pianos in spaces with difficult access, like small elevators or curved staircases, we develop customized strategies to ensure a smooth relocation without compromising the instrument’s integrity. Every step of the process at McMurry Piano Moving is handled with meticulous care, ensuring that your piano arrives in perfect condition, whether it's just moving to another room or across town.
