Piano transporting

Before we do anything, we take the time to understand your specific situation and needs. We evaluate the dimensions of the piano, the accessibility of your home, and the final destination to set up a flawless moving plan. We discuss every step of the process so you know exactly what to expect.
Protecting your piano during the move is our highest priority. We use high-quality moving blankets and special protective covers to carefully wrap each part of your piano. This minimizes the risk of scratches or other damage. We also ensure that all loose parts, such as the music stand and pedal, are securely fastened.
Using specially designed piano trolleys and our experienced movers, your piano is safely transported to our moving van. In the van, the piano is securely fastened to prevent any movement during transport. Our modern moving vans are equipped with air suspension systems to ensure as smooth a ride as possible.
Upon arrival at the new location, the piano is unloaded with the same care and placed where you want it. We take into account your specific wishes for placement and ensure that your piano is exactly where you want it to be.
After the move, we advise letting the piano acclimate to its new environment before tuning it. It's important to wait a few weeks before tuning the piano again. If you need a professional tuning service, we can connect you with reliable specialists.

Comprehensive Answers to Frequently Asked Questions

At Moving Company Draagkracht, we understand that moving your piano requires as much care and attention as the music that comes from it. That's why we've compiled and answered a range of frequently asked questions, from preparing your piano for the move to the costs involved. Discover expert answers and tips below to make your moving process as harmonious as possible.

Moving your piano requires not just physical care but also consideration of the best time for transport. Ideally, spring or autumn are most suitable for piano moves due to moderate temperatures and more stable humidity. These conditions help minimize risks of wood expansion and shrinkage, which can lead to detuning or other damage. At Moving Company Draagkracht, we carefully plan and provide custom advice to move your piano under the best possible conditions.
For a smooth piano move, we recommend contacting us at least 4 to 6 weeks in advance. This allows us sufficient time to make all necessary preparations, such as planning the route, preparing the required moving materials, and scheduling specialized movers. Early planning also ensures you a moving date that best fits your schedule.
After the move, we advise letting your piano acclimate to its new environment before tuning. Typically, we recommend waiting 2 to 4 weeks. This gives the instrument time to adjust to the new humidity and temperature, crucial for accurate tuning. Our team can advise you on the best timing for tuning, based on the specific circumstances of your move.
Moving Company Draagkracht specializes in challenging moves, including transporting pianos to higher floors without an elevator. We use advanced tools such as moving lifts and, if necessary, cranes. Our team carefully evaluates the situation to determine the safest and most efficient approach, always with the aim of protecting your instrument and property.
Yes, your peace of mind is our priority. Every piano move by Moving Company Draagkracht is covered by comprehensive insurance that addresses any damage during transport. Before the move begins, we inform you about the coverage and the procedures in case of damage. We aim for a worry-free experience but are also prepared for unforeseen circumstances.
What sets Moving Company Draagkracht apart is our commitment to quality, safety, and customer satisfaction. Our team consists of specialized piano movers who are regularly trained in the finer points of piano transport. We use only the best moving materials and techniques specifically designed for pianos. Furthermore, we provide a personalized service, tailored to your specific needs and preferences, distinguishing us in the market.
For optimal protection of your piano during the move, it's crucial to take some preparatory steps in advance. Firstly, ensure that all loose parts, such as music stands and pedals, are safely removed or secured. Then, wrap the piano in protective blankets or specially designed piano covers to prevent scratches and bumps. The use of corner protectors is recommended for additional safety of the piano's vulnerable edges. By following these steps carefully, you minimize the risk of damage during the move.
The costs for professionally moving a piano vary significantly based on factors such as the moving distance, the size and type of piano (e.g., upright vs. grand piano), and any additional services like the use of a moving lift or interim storage. On average, prices range between €200 and €600. For an accurate estimate, we recommend requesting a quote from certified moving companies specializing in piano transport.
Certified piano moving companies use professional packing techniques and materials to protect your piano. This includes wrapping the piano in thick, padded blankets and securing it in the moving van with special straps. If necessary, additional protective measures like covers for the keys and the finish are applied. This meticulous approach ensures your piano arrives safely and without damage at its new location.
Yes, it is possible to move a grand piano without fully dismantling it. Professional piano movers have the expertise and equipment to safely transport grand pianos with minimal dismantling. This may involve removing certain parts, such as the music stand and sometimes the legs, for transport. However, this process requires specific knowledge and caution, so it's important to leave this to specialists in the field.
