Moving a piano is a delicate task that requires precision, care, and the right approach. Citywide Moving Systems, serving Charlotte, NC, and surrounding areas such as Fort Mill, Rock Hill, and Matthews, specializes in moving pianos with the utmost professionalism and safety. Here’s a detailed guide on how to properly move your piano, ensuring its protection throughout the process.

  1. Consultation and Planning Before any move, a thorough consultation is essential. This allows Citywide Moving Systems to assess the size and type of piano, understand access points at both locations, and plan the move meticulously, whether you’re in Waxhaw or Mint Hill.
  2. Choosing the Right Equipment Proper equipment is critical for safely moving a piano. Use of piano dollies, skid boards, and lifting straps are standard practices at Citywide Moving Systems, ensuring that every piano from Ballantyne to Indian Trial is moved with care.
  3. Securing the Keyboard and Pedals The keyboard lid and pedals should be securely locked or wrapped to prevent them from opening or moving during transit. This step is vital to protect the internal mechanics of the piano, especially when moving across areas like Lancaster or Monroe.
  4. Proper Lifting Techniques Pianos require several people to lift properly, using safe lifting techniques to avoid injury and prevent damage to the piano. Citywide Moving Systems’ trained professionals in cities like Pineville and Wesley Chapel are adept at handling these requirements.
  5. Protective Wrapping The piano should be wrapped in blankets and padding to protect its surface from scratches and bumps during the move. This is a standard procedure for moves in Marshville, Weddington, and beyond, ensuring your piano remains in pristine condition.
  6. Transportation A climate-controlled vehicle is necessary for transporting a piano, particularly for long distances or variable weather conditions, as is common between Sun City and Mount Holly. Citywide Moving Systems provides vehicles equipped to maintain a stable environment around your piano.
  7. Navigating Through Challenges Maneuvering a piano through narrow spaces, doors, or stairs requires expertise and careful planning. Our teams in Marvin and Wingate are trained to tackle these challenges effectively, minimizing risk and ensuring a smooth relocation.
  8. Setup and Tuning at the New Location Once at the new location, the piano should be carefully unloaded, placed in the desired spot, and tuned. Citywide Moving Systems coordinates with local tuners in areas like Concord and Charlotte to provide tuning services post-move.

With Citywide Moving Systems, your piano is in safe hands, whether you’re relocating within Charlotte or to neighboring cities like Fort Mill or Rock Hill.
