The specifics of moving a piano
A piano is both heavy and anddelicate
. We fix the keyboard cover, cover the instrument with a thick blanket and use a piano strap + tailgate lift to avoid sudden tilts. If necessary, we transport the instrument on its side on a special stand and give the client the contact information of a piano tuner. “Klaveri kolimine – kuidas pilli turvaliselt teisaldada”
