- Why Is It Important to Use Specialist Piano Movers for Brisbane Moves?
When moving a piano, especially in a place like Brisbane, you are not going to want ordinary movers assisting you. Northside Removals will always advise you to hire Piano Movers Brisbane who work frequently, transporting fragile, heavy musical instruments. Most movers and packers will have experience going from point A to point B, moving furniture and boxes, but are not experienced in moving a piano.
What Makes Piano Moves Special?
A piano is not only heavy, but also delicate, has a complex, dense construction, also very sensitive to jostling, humidity, or angle. These factors should be considered if you want to preserve the tuning, integrity and finish of your piano:
- Assessing the piano’s weight, dimensions, and whether it is going to be disassembled
- Confirming appropriate moving equipment being used: piano boards, dollies, straps and some type of padding
- Thinking about how to maneuver the piano out of the house and the proper route: dealing with tight stairs and other challenges, to manage damage
- Your piano deserves to be in the proper climate for its fragile assembly: if the temperature and/or humidity of its environment fluctuates, it may cause irreparable damage.
Any error made in any of these areas – greater angle on the instrument, corner dropping on one of the supports, forcing it through a narrow or obstructed area – may cause significant damage to the instrument’s soundboard, internal parts, and legs.
Why Choose Specialist Piano Movers?
- Expertise and Training: Our team includes personnel specifically trained in the relocation of pianos. This training helps to reduce misfortunes such as jamming the pedals and cracking of the casing.
- Proper Equipment: We use specific equipment that has been created for the transport of pianos- skidboards, reinforced dollies, and climate-proof coverings, so that your piano is not dragged or unnecessarily exposed to the risk of injury.
- Liability and Insurance: Pianos represent a high-value item, and we carry specific insurance to cover the instrument. When you rely on general movers and packers in North Brisbane, this insurance coverage may not include delicate musical instruments.
- Minimal Damage and Disruption: We map out pathways, cover doorways, and ensure a pre-co-ordinated move, safeguarding your walls, floor, and the instruments.
- Safe Dismantling and Remantling: There may be legs, pedals, lids, or music racks that need to be removed temporarily, and we will remantle the product correctly, with alignment and calibration.
What Question Should You Ask When Hiring?
Before you book, you should verify that the mover has:
- Experience working with piano movers in Brisbane, and will provide references
- Uses specific equipment to transport a piano
- Offers insurance coverage against damage
- Will take care to protect against temperature change whilst in transit
- Takes care to load, transport, and remantle
You should check their history of performance in Brisbane, specifically North Brisbane, to see if they are well-acquainted with local routes, stairs, and property layouts.
