Piano Moving
Pianos are very heavy. The average spinet or console weighs in at from three hundred to five hundred pounds, full-size uprights at about seven hundred, but sometimes as much as a thousand pounds. At the same time, this heavy instrument is extremely fragile and complex, with over 1000 moving components, 200 strings, and a delicate balance between all the parts.
Grands vary from about five hundred to a thousand pounds, though a concert grand may weigh as much as fifteen hundred pounds! If it were simply a matter of weight, though, all it would take would be enough strong people to do the job.
Unfortunately, along with the weight come problems of balance and inertia, knowledge of which can make all the difference in doing a moving job safely and efficiently.
Piano moving may conjure up images of men with monstrous arms and huge torsos, but actually two or three people of average build can do piano moving jobs.
Canway’s employees are specifically trained to move pianos of all sizes. We understand the unique challenges posed by the piano’s massive exterior and the fragile nature of its keys and inner workings. Our piano movers use state-of-the-art equipment, trucks dedicated for pianos and two professionals on every move, so your piano receives extra care.
