Transporting valuable pianos is an extremely complicated and delicate task that requires the presence of experienced and professional technicians with significant knowledge of piano maintenance and transport. For some people, the value of a piano is more sentimental than material, and that is why it is essential to entrust its transport to specialists.
How to transport a piano in complete peace of mind?
Due to its fragility, weight, dimensions, and peculiar silhouette (depending on the model), the piano must be moved with extreme delicacy and rigor. At Grupo Amygo we know the techniques of assembling, disassembling and transporting pianos, and we intervene instantly if damage occurs during your move: damaged pedal or key, blocked lid and mechanism, etc.
Piano Transport
Heavy and fragile at the same time, the piano must be transported by specialized professionals. Do not take the risk of transporting a piano without professional help. Opt for an agile and experienced team in transporting instruments through stairs and narrow corridors, difficult-to-access floors, etc. Do not hesitate to ask for the help of professionals if the access conditions of your home are complicated. Professional piano transporters have the skills and the necessary equipment to avoid any scratches. A piano usually weighs between 200 and 600 kilos for certain models, and is a frequent object in private moves. Grupo Amygo is responsible for protecting each part of the piano, so that it does not suffer any type of accident during transport. If it is a question of transporting a lacquered piano, our teams take the necessary measures to transport the piano in the best conditions and without it suffering any scratches.
Grand Pianos
Grand pianos can weigh up to 600 kg, have a resonance box, horizontal strings, and an elongated tail shape at the back. Their characteristics allow them to acquire a high quality sound. They are also the most difficult to transport. There are several types of grand piano:
- Grand piano: over 256 cm long
- Mid-size grand piano: 190 to 225 cm long
- Quarter-size grand piano: 131 to 189 cm long
- Mignon grand piano: up to 130 cm long
- Three-quarter-size grand piano: 226 to 255 cm long
Upright Pianos
Upright pianos have been used since the 19th century. They are less bulky than grand pianos, weighing approximately 150 kg, and therefore have easier transport characteristics. There are several types of upright piano:
- Studio upright: 110 to 139 cm high
- Spinet upright: less than 98 cm high
- Antique upright: more than 140 cm high
- Console upright. 98 to 109 cm high
