Piano moving

About a century ago, per capita piano ownership in the United States peaked at an estimated one per every 100 households. By 2015, that ratio declined to slightly more than one piano per 4,000 households. With that said, for homes that feature pianos, they are important centerpieces. The simplest upright pianos begin retailing at $3,000. High-end grand pianos easily top $100,000. Despite their large footprint, numerous moving parts require that pianos are treated carefully. Piano black is more than a nice color option for a car.  It points to the high polish on impeccably finished furniture that also serve as fine instruments.  Unsightly scuffs and dents are highly visible on such a large surface.

For all these reasons, whether you need a piano moved internally in your home or from one home to another, call McAvey Moving to handle your piano move with ease. We have a highly skilled staff that can handle your piano moving needs. We are experienced in moving all types of pianos, including baby grand pianos. Our highly qualified team will take every step possible to protect your belongings.

The smallest piano weighs over 300 pounds; the largest piano approaches three-quarters of a ton. Offering beer and pizza to some friends to help execute this heavy lift could go badly. Do not trust this delicate instrument to amateurs – especially if your journey involves stairs or narrow passageways. Finally, consider not only the risk to your instrument, but also the potential liability of damage to your old or new residence. Experience is the most important reason to go with a professional piano mover in New York.

For pianos, we send 2 or more trained movers and deploy specially designed moving equipment, including piano boards, specifically for your type of piano. Our trucks have custom features to make moving your piano safe. We also know how to properly crate and ship your piano across longer distances and country borders. Whether in Westchester County, New York State, the Eastern seaboard or the Continental United States, we use sturdy crates and carefully pad your piano for all types of transit to prevent chips, scrapes or dents. We clearly mark all packaging to simplify unpacking and reassembling your piano upon arrival at its destination.
