Pianos are elegant, beautiful, versatile—and heavy. If you’ve ever tried to move one of these instruments, you know that it’s not the type of thing that can be done by a single person. But exactly how many people does it take to move a piano? The answer depends on a number of different factors.

Piano Type

First of all, you need to take into account the type of piano. An upright piano, where the strings are vertically arranged, can generally be moved by a handful of people—you might only need two people to move a small spinet or console, while a larger studio or classic upright piano might require three or four people. If there will be a flight of stairs, add another person to the moving team. Grand pianos—where the strings are arranged horizontally—require more help. Because of their awkward shape, they usually need to be disassembled and reassembled. Professional help might be required to get the piano from one place to another. The components of a baby or parlor grand can generally be handled by three or four people who know what they’re doing. A semi-concert or concert grand, however, might need as many as six people to move.

Cost

The cost of the piano should also be considered. If you own a small upright that was purchased secondhand, you might not need to worry about having a lot of helping hands. Good quality grand pianos, though, can easily cost tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, which can definitely make hiring a professional mover worth your while.

Professional Help

Moving pianos is a difficult job, and it’s not one that can be done alone. Whether you want professionals to handle your prized instrument, need help handling a flight of stairs, or can’t find enough friends to help you haul your spinet, Attention to Detail Moving will be happy to lend a hand.

Are older Yamaha pianos good?

seattlepianoco.com - Reasons Why To Purchase A Used Yamaha Piano

All things considered, in my opinion, it’s just a smart move.

Used Yamaha pianos, even when a couple of decades old, are still great pianos. If you purchase one that has been very well taken care of and or refurbished, a used Yamaha piano can be just as enjoyable to play as a new one. With the dramatically lower price tag of a used Yamaha as opposed to new, you can also get a lot more piano for your money. With a budget of $4,000-$5,000 and the intention of buying new, you would be entering Yamaha’s beginner B1 or B2 model indonesian made uprights (which are still good pianos), but when considering used, that same budget will often get you a professional series U1 or U3 upright. The same goes with their grand pianos. With a budget of $10,000 for a new Yamaha, you will be able to purchase their beginner model 5’ Indonesian made GB1K model which, arguably is the best entry level grand for its price out there, but if you apply that same budget to used, you’ll often be able to find a Conservatory series C1 or a G3 model. Both of which are larger, and made in Japan. At Seattle Piano Company we refurbish our Yamaha pianos very extensively with a high level of attention to detail in everything involved in the process. We back all of our pianos with a 5-Year Parts and Labor Warranty, and provide the first in-home tuning for free. We take a lot of pride in what we do, and it shows in our pianos.

If you have any questions (even if you’re not purchasing from us),

please feel free to give us a call. We’d love to hear from you.
