As movers in one of the biggest music hubs in the world, we’ve learned a thing or two about moving musical instruments. Here are our best tips for moving your instruments, from piccolos to pianos.
Choose the Right Packing Materials
The first step for safely moving instruments? Packing them well! As Music City movers, we’ve packed our fair share of instruments. If your instrument has a hard shell case, that’s ideal. But even if it doesn’t, we’ve got you covered. Using bubble wrap, packing paper, and packing peanuts can ensure your instrument will be safe in transit. A well-wrapped instrument in a box without empty space should be secure — wrap it well yourself, or hire us to pack it!
Disassemble if Possible
Instruments that can be disassembled, such as drum kits or keyboards, should be taken apart before packing. This makes them easier to move and reduces the risk of damage.
Handle with Care
This may go without saying, but instruments should be treated as fragile and handled with great care. Never stack anything on top of your instrument cases, and make sure instruments are well secured inside your moving vehicle. If you work with Little Guys Movers, know that we go the extra mile to care for your instruments and will always keep them secured in our moving trucks.
Hire Professionals for Pianos
Pianos are among the most challenging instruments to move due to their size and weight. Never try to move a piano yourself, and always hire professionals who have experience moving pianos. As Music City movers, we’re well-versed in piano moving. We have the expertise and equipment necessary to safely move pianos of all sizes.
Trust the Experts
While working with professionals is an absolute must for pianos, it’s a good idea when moving any musical instruments. Professional movers like the Little Guys have the training, skills, and equipment to make moving easy. With us, you know that your beloved instruments are transported safely, so you can focus on making music in your new home.
