Anyone who has ever bought a new piano understands the costs associated with it. For those who have never bought a new piano, but are considering the purchase, know that a new piano is extremely expensive. Buying the piano, however, isn’t the final step to owning one. There is the major task of getting the piano from the purchase site to its new home. Piano movers are an excellent resource to utilize in order to move your new piano, for many reasons.
Here are three of those Reasons:
1. They are professionals for a reason: It’s important to remember that professional piano movers are labeled as professional for a reason. They specialize in specifically moving pianos. They fully understand the delicacies found within a piano, and know the best ways to move the object to keep everything intact. The instrument will be moved intact, or if need arises, they can take their time and correctly break the piano down into smaller parts. From here they will ensure the instrument is carefully cushioned and that each and every working part remains that way throughout the move. They also have the tools necessary to break the piano down and correctly put it back together. Hiring a professional also provides you with their ability to accurately gauge the weight of the piano. This is important in order to be sure the transportation methods utilized while moving are sufficient.
2. You can’t offer a guarantee on yourself: When you hire piano movers who are good at what they do, they will know to practice extreme caution with your things. Typically, there will be some type of insurance or guarantee offered in the event the piano is damaged in anyway. This is important due to the high price you have already paid for the piano, you do not want it to get broken before ever reaching its final destination. You may be able to have your piano covered by your homeowner’s insurance, but other than that there is really no way to cover yourself while moving the piano. Companies that offer a guarantee are some type of insurance show that they are confident in their work. However, it is important to remember mistakes do happen now and again, and a good company will understand this. Offering insurance is not a sign of weakness, but rather a sign of strength that you are about to hire a good company.
3. Most work with your schedule: The majority of piano movers know that people typically go to work during the day and move on the weekends or after working hours. Most companies provide flexible schedules and will work with you to ensure that your appointment for the move is one you will be able to keep. They will show up on time, on site, when they said they would. Unlike your best group of friends, you don’t have to worry about whether or not the professional arrive on time.
If you have invested the money in a piano, new or used, you already know the value of the instrument. If you are considering purchasing a piano, know that the investment you made in the piano is worth protecting. Professionals can mean the difference in your piano arriving at its final destination in one piece or severely damaged.
