Don’t try this at home

​

People trying to move pianos themselves or getting unqualified movers in to do it is such a cliché that they turned it into an advert spoof in the 80s. Who can forget the PG Tips Chimps shenanigans that always brought a smile to the face. But that’s only because we all knew the piano was a fake; when it’s your own expensive piano on the line, there’s no way someone allowing it to fall down the stairs is funny!

​

If you want to move your old upright piano from the sitting room to the TV room, it should be alright to get a couple of other people to help you wheel the instrument down the corridor. But when it comes to moving a piano up and down stairs or from one building to another, it’s time to call in the piano moving experts!
