- We always use blankets, straps and sometimes additional pads. This video was filmed, with permission by the customer, which is me and is for your education. We recommend spray glue on the dolly contact points. This will greatly help placing and removing the piano. It is recommended that the dolly have a fixed wheeled dolly and that it is placed 60/40 toward the pickup side. This will make that side easy to lift and the heavy side can go out the doors first so the piano can be pushed down to raise up and over the threshold.
It is a fully assembled and fully functional 100 year old player piano weighing roughly 800 pounds. If we had covered the piano can you imagine the comments we'd receive? We get them anyway 😉.
There have been some further questions regarding this video so here's the link to the full video • Full Version - How to ... and here's a link to another piano I would say is even heavier than this one. • How to Move the Heavie...

You can move an upright piano with the right tools and some training. We can help you through the process if you'd like. Plan it out thoroughly and take it slow. We are not your moving advisor and take no responsibility for damage or injury
I'm skeptical. Especially with his body size. I have an 1886 Steinway that I can't even budge, let alone pick up off the ground, hold with one hand, and put a dolly underneath without straining.
I know right!? We're moving our piano ourselves today, and it's so stupidly heavy!
Why do people insist on holding the phone in portrait mode to video? TURN THE PHONE ON ITS SIDE!
too busy moving piano
Trying to figure out your lifting technique. Getting the dolly under it is our hardest part.
Player pianos like this weigh close to 1000 lbs. He takes his time but one man piano moving is not recommended since piano can flip very quickly.but good technique
Sad that it was moved into storage. The family didn't play it enough I guess.
This guy has great technique but he definitely is strong.
does it stress the frame leaving it on the dolly?
thanks!
Dolly’s are good
GWUI....get wheels under it
What is the model and brand of the dolly?
Hi. I think I talked to you on the phone but it's custom welded. 33inches long, 18inches wide about 10inches tall. The wheels are 6inch non markinging fixed axle with bearings. I put duct the top for pad and then spray adhesive for tack. I've used a product called monster dolly for moving around my storage and they are probably the best value for $60. Mine cost $200 to build
I read somewhere in one of his videos comments that he had it made by someone
I believe that is an upright grand. Kudos for moving that piano by yourself, I just don't know why you would ever want to move a piano of that size alone. You run the risk of really hurting yourself just to show off and I don't think it's worth it
I've found it safer to move them by myself than with an idiot. There's plenty of stuff to pay attention to while this is going on without the added distraction.
@@davidingham4542 you're only moving them by yourself when everything is ground level, right? My partner and I move them together. I understand why you wouldn't want a person who has no experience helping you cause things can go wrong quickly. What annoys me the most is when you have a person who wants to overachieve and try to do to much.
@@atasteofginger2443 ..yeah , dont need a show off doing this thats for sure . I do go up and down stairs. I guess I forgot to mention. I'm an old guy (not quite 70) but in waay younger days I worked loading and unloading shipping containers and delivering the contents; Everything from elevator components to playground equipment to air raid sirens and everything in between in Hawaii .I gotta good sense of how to move heavy stuff and how its going to react that has served me well over the years. But anyway,another thing i didn't mention. I am very slow. I don't do it fo a living , just for friends and myself . It took me a one day from house to truck and another from truck to new house for example. Another example, took me 3 days to move a jaccuzi from the front yard where it was delivered , up the stairs and into its new home in the upstairs bathroom .
Anyway , good to talk to you.
@@davidingham4542 my partner is also in his late 60s and he doesn't look like the type you would think that moved huge upright pianos. He probably weighs between 150 and 160 wet. When I first started working with him there would be days when I'd come to the office and there will be a new studio piano that he went and picked up by himself.
@@atasteofginger2443 oh man! its been a long time since I weighed 160 :) I'm jealous now! But yeah, when i was moving freight for a living i used to tell the new hires there were three main things, never lift the full weight, get wheels under it , and if it hurts, figure out a different way to move it. :) One of these days I'm gonna figure out how to get my fall river upright on its back so I can do the super glue thing to the pin block. I would do it with the piano standing up but I want to give the super glue procedure every chance of success. I figure once I tune it where it will stay tuned all i have to do then is develop the talent that has eluded me my whole life.. but i have a blast playing even without the talent. Not too sure how the doggies and kitty feel about that though :)
Please come and pick mine up, it's free!!!
is it in california?
I have a player piano in California if you want it. Free!@@davidingham4542
