We have already had numerous Dutch residents trust us with moving grand pianos, baby grand pianos, upright pianos, spinet pianos, and many other styles, shapes and designs of this beautiful instrument. But how exactly does moving a piano work? We discuss that here.
Moving pianos, like playing the piano, is an art that takes practice. Before we move a piano, we gather enough moving blankets to cover different parts of the piano, and enough tape to hold them in place. The blankets provide a layer of protection to the piano so that your piano is not at risk of getting damaged. First, we cover the keys of the piano with blankets, to prevent them from shifting and getting damaged during transport. Then, all detachable parts of the piano should be removed and packed separately. Smaller items that belong to the piano can be transported in moving boxes. This can be as simple as loosening them by hand, but sometimes tools such as a Phillips or Allen screwdriver are needed to loosen parts such as pedals.
Once the piano is reduced to just the parts that cannot be detached, we make sure that almost every part of the piano is covered with blankets to ensure that no part of the piano is damaged, but there is one area that should be left open: the handles. Using these to lift the piano is the best way to move it. The piano will need to be picked up at some point so that our movers can Moving company You can also immediately cover the bottom with blankets.
If the piano is completely covered with blankets, moving is still tricky. Piano movers in Amsterdam and other parts of the Netherlands, especially in cities, have to deal with tight free spaces in the famously cosy city flats. If the free space is particularly tight, movers may have to measure the available space to see how much room the piano takes up to see if it will fit. Next, movers usually use a piano board to actually transport the piano. Otherwise, the piano will be too heavy, too big and too difficult to transport.
