How To Move an Upright Piano Yourself DIY (With the right equipment and skill)

We always use blankets, straps and sometimes additional pads. This video was filmed, with permission by the customer, and is for your education. We recommend spray glue on the dolly contact points. This will greatly help placing and removing the piano. It is recommended that the dolly have a fixed wheeled dolly and that it is placed 60/40 toward the pickup side. This will make that side easy to lift and the heavy side can go out the doors first so the piano can be pushed down to raise up and over the threshold. It is a fully assembled and fully functional 100 year old player piano weighing roughly 800 pounds. If we had covered the piano can you imagine the comments we'd receive? We get them anyway 😉.
