At Camco Transports we are specialist in moving pianos, as a Darwin removalist with over twenty five years experience we do not recommend that you move your own piano.

Anyone who owns a piano knows how important it is to their home. However, moving such a weighty, bulky, and costly furniture piece is not an easy task and the error margin is very slim. In fact, can hurt yourself and damage property not to talk of the piano itself. Besides, the cost of repairing such an instrument can be high.

Even if you want to move the piano by yourself may be, from one room to another, you would need a team of at least three experts and a really sturdy dolly (in the case of an upright piano). Having placed the piano on the dolly, at least two people would be needed to wheel it without letting the piano totter around and tip over. In cases where you have to relocate a grand piano or negotiate corners, dolly cannot be utilized. The weight and size of the grand piano only are enough to call for some other movement means. There is a technique to doing this known only to professionals as there must be a careful balance between weight and movement.
