Safety
is the first consideration. A Piano is a heavy, unwieldy object. Even
if the Piano is short spinet instead of a tall upright, it is top-heavy
and it could easily tip over. The casters (wheels) underneath may be
rusty, clogged with a foreign object, or swung in the wrong direction,
preventing the piano from rolling easily. Lifting one end of the piano
should be done carefully, keeping in mind some of the basic rules which
apply to lifting any heavy object. The protruding and sometimes delicate
exterior parts-legs, pedals, and music desks should be protected
against damage. A Grand Piano requires more care to avoid putting stress
on the Piano legs when moving-it is best to have enough people to
"surround" the Piano and lift it slightly as it is moved.
Likewise,
the floor should be protected against damage from dragging a "locked"
caster or gouging by anything which might be protruding from the bottom
of the Piano Clear all potential obstacles out of the way, including
throw rugs and objects which might have ended up hidden under the Piano.
Try not to lift one end of the Piano any more than is absolutely is
necessary, because the strain applied to the structure of the instrument
can cause enough twisting or bending to knock sections of the Piano out
of tune. If it is necessary to move the Piano up or down a step or two,
have plenty of help. If there are more than a couple of steps to
negotiate, get a professional to do the job, even if it is only within
the house. Once the Piano has been relocated, it is a good idea to use
caster cups (the best are available from your technician) under the
casters to protect the floor or carpet.

You
may want your piano moved either for a concert or because you are
moving to a new residence. It is not prudent to entrust the job to an
ordinary mover. Moving a piano is an expert operation. The supervisor
and the workers attending to the task must have experience in similar
assignments and a good understanding of pianos. You can easily locate
such expert movers in Jersey City, Newark, Bayonne, Union City, Hoboken,
Cliffside, Teaneck, Hackensack who undertake nationwide transfers. They

Pianos
differ in value, quality and age. Different methods may have to be used
for each type. Proper packaging and fixing firmly in the transportation
vehicle are of critical importance. They should be totally protected
from shocks and jerks. For this, apart from air-ride suspension trucks,
blanket wrapping and special boards are used. Some instruments have to
be dismantled before packing and reassembled at destination. Expertise
is essential for this procedure.
It
would be wise to ask the mover for details of comparable jobs he has
done in the past, and also for references. Insurance arrangements also
should be ascertained. Various factors are considered while structuring
the price. Distance involved is one. The type of piano is another. Even
the number of steps and the kind of flooring may be considered.
