Before moving a grand piano, it is essential to assess its size, weight, and condition. Grand pianos come in various sizes, ranging from 5 feet to 9 feet in length. The weight can vary from 500 to 1,000 pounds depending on the size and construction. It is crucial to determine the exact dimensions and weight of the piano to plan for appropriate equipment and manpower.

Checking the Piano’s Condition

Inspect the piano thoroughly for any loose or broken parts, such as legs, pedals, or keys. Identify any scratches or dents on the exterior to avoid further damage during the move. If the piano has not been maintained regularly, it is advisable to consult a professional piano technician to assess its overall condition and recommend any necessary repairs or adjustments before moving.

Secure Packaging

The grand piano must be properly packaged to protect it from damage during the move. This involves:

1. Disassembling the Piano

Remove the legs, pedals, and lid. Wrap each of these components in protective material such as bubble wrap or cardboard.
