Introductions
A piano is one of the most valuable and delicate musical instruments to transport. Whether you’re moving to a new home, relocating your music studio or delivering a piano to a customer, choosing a reliable piano mover is essential to ensure your instrument arrives safely.
Unlike ordinary parcels, pianos are heavy, bulky and contain thousands of delicate internal components. Without proper planning and suitable transportation, moving a piano may result in costly damage to the instrument or your property.
With EasyParcel Singapore, you can book Lalamove for piano moving services. Depending on your piano’s size and weight, you can choose from Van, 10-ft Lorry or 14-ft Lorry to ensure safe and efficient transportation.
In this guide, we’ll explain how to choose the right vehicle, prepare your piano for moving and book your piano mover through EasyParcel.
Why Do You Need a Professional Piano Mover?
Moving a piano requires much more than manpower.
An upright piano typically weighs between 180kg and 300kg, while larger grand pianos can weigh over 500kg. Combined with their awkward shape and delicate internal mechanisms, improper handling can easily damage the piano or cause injuries.
A professional piano moving service helps ensure:
- Safe loading and unloading
- Suitable vehicle selection
- Better protection during transportation
- Reduced risk of damage
- Smoother relocation experience
