Are you considering moving your own piano? Please read these important tips and warnings first! It is important to use correct equipment and methods to move your piano safely.
I was moving a piano just the other day in my cargo trailer, complete with e-track tie downs, when to my surprise, I passed a pickup truck (pulling a small utility trailer) that was pulled over on the side of the road because they had just lost their large upright piano which had tipped over on it's front during transit. At the very least they will need a new set of pedals (which all three snapped off immediatly) as well as any case damage repaired. This is the second time in a single month that I saw or heard of this happening. The other piano, a spinet, lost it's pedals as well as it's two legs which popped off and had to be repaired.
Was moving their piano themselves worth the risk?
