Staff commitment
Our office staff and our piano moving crews are committed to their job. After a six month training program learning, not just moving techniques, but how the inner workings of a piano operate, they understand a piano is not just a piece of furniture but a living instrument and to give it the care and respect it deserves. We have many members of staff who have enjoyed a long-term career at Upright Piano Movers.
Equipment and vehicles
Our equipment has mostly been designed by ourselves and it does differ from the standard piano moving equipment, giving extra protection. All of our piano covers are made to measure and we have a number of stair climbers. Our vehicles are bespoke to our specification, with temperature control and humidity control, which will keep your piano in the perfect environment while it’s in transit.
