What
information do I need to have before I call a piano mover? |
|
|
*
What type of piano you need moved.
The 3 main types of pianos are an upright, grand, and console (like an
upright but not as tall). |
|
*
If the piano is a grand, the length will be needed (measure from the
keyboard to curve in bow end). |
|
*
The address where the piano is being picked up, and the address where it
is being delivered. |
|
*
Are there any stairs turns or landings, inside or outside of the home?
|
|
*
When are you looking to have it moved. |

*
Also, inform them if you foresee any problems ahead of time.

Are
all piano movers insured? |
|
No. Make sure the piano mover you
hire is licensed, bonded and insured. Not all piano movers are. The
piano mover should be registered with the U.S. Department of
Transportation. West Coast Piano is licensed, bonded and insured as well
as being registered with USDOT |
|
How
will you move my piano? |
|
Knowledge and the proper equipment,
dollies, skids, ramps, moving pads, and the tools required for the
specific piano they are moving. It usually only takes 2 people to move a
piano with the proper equipment. In some cases it will require 3 or 4
people. At West Coast Piano Moving & Storage, we use only modern
equipment and upgrade regularly. |
|
How
big is the delivery truck that will be coming to my home? |
|
Our trucks have an overall length
of 27 feet. We are able to navigate through most areas without a
problem. |
|
Will
my piano need to be tuned after being moved? |
|
Moving your piano doesn’t affect
the tuning of your piano. However, temperature, humidity, and room size
can affect the sound. We suggest that you have your piano tuned once it
has been in its new location for 3 to 4 weeks. |
|
Can
you store my piano, and how much does it cost? |
|
We have a secure climate controlled
storage facility. We store pianos for short periods and long term. If
you are having some work done on your home, and need your piano stored
in a secure environment for a short period while your work is being
completed, or you need it in storage for an extended period of time, we
will take care of it.
Our storage
rate is $40.00 per month for an upright, and $50.00 per month for a
grand.,
prorated on a monthly basis. |
