- This video goes over my first time moving a baby grand piano. This was not my personal client but I was helping out a fellow mover who had also never moved a baby grand. We were both fully aware of the liability and risk.
Disclaimer if you decide to move any piano please be aware of any risk involved.
I would recommend three guys to move a piano like this just to help lift the piano and turn it onto its side, however we were able to do it with just two guys.
Having some pads on hand really helps the process and protects the piano.
Start by protecting the top of the piano.
Place a pad under the middle leg in order to remove the leg closest to the flat side of the piano.
Turn the piano on it’s side to remove the remaining three legs.
Place on a four wheel dolly and strap it up!
If there is anything we could have done better or if you are interested in any other videos please leave a comment below!
Don't EVER rely upon the "assumed" strength of the pedal lyre to take the weight of the piano for the initial rotation. The damage that may incur would cost you way more than the fee of moving.
Appreciate the feedback, this was the first time moving a baby grand so it’s always good to see where I can improve. As you mentioned, it is important to weight the risk vs reward ratio especially on belongings such as this piano.
@@smartestmover1239 what brand of grand piano is that
Thanks for the video I like and appreciate your honesty about being your first time moving a baby grand; I always learn from anyone regardless of experience, and I have learned from you and have developed a can-do attitude. Thanks a lot
Textbook example of how not to move a baby grand. You jeopardized the lyre. You damaged the leg. You likely bent the hinges on the lid by not having a piano board.
My OCD was cringing at you putting the blankets inside out :D Thanks for the videos. I love the playlist. Keep them up!
Ha thanks for the comment! I put pads inside out on anything that is fragile such as glass, TVs, mirrors and anything that needs special consideration such as this piano.
Thank you bud🙏 I’m moving a baby grand piano tomorrow and a 4 bedroom home with a 3 man crew, and this video right here give me confidence that I could do it. Wish me luck🤞. I’ll let you know tomorrow evening how it went thank you for taking your time to put up this video really helps me out brother
how did it go
Ya, you said you'd come back to tell us how it went. Did you survive?
Just a tip to make it easier on yourself. When you are rotating the piano off the grand board when you are setting it up, flip your back leg caster up, this will allow the caster to work with you on the rotation. Having it down like it was in the video it will not allow you to rotate as far or as easily and will try to flip on you.
Hey buddy, thanks for the video. How hard was it moving it dow the stairs? Is it manageable with two people? I'm looking to buy one but I cant afford the moving fee.
This was the first baby grand I have moved and there were not many stairs leaving or entering the house making it fairly simple. Depending on how many stairs you will need to move and how confident you feel in your skill/ strength level it may be best to pay someone else to move it.
You lay some pads triangle position on the piano board,take the liar/pedals off next step take the 3rd leg off next step remove the other legs,so you the piano is flat with the piano board
well done!
Where I can find you guys for moving?
I am based in San Antonio TX.
A piano board would be the best option
Grab a piano board for baby grand and grand pianos
I’m a professional mover plz don’t do anything these guys did they did absolutely everything wrong
The liar goes on last y’all a joke lol
