  A piano isn’t just an instrument. It’s a statement piece, a source of music, and often a family heirloom passed down through generations. But when it comes time to move, pianos present a unique challenge. They are large and heavy but also incredibly delicate, with intricate internal components that need to be handled with care. Unlike other household items, a piano cannot simply be lifted and carried like a couch or table.

That’s why it’s best to leave the job to professionals who understand how to move these instruments safely. At Our Family Moving ...
