INFORMATION ON LONG DISTANCE BLANKET WRAP PIANO MOVES

Thank you very much for calling on Fox Music House for your piano moves. We do make trips out of town to pick up or deliver pianos for customers. Our normal fee is $1.00 per mile, each way, & if overnight, add food & hotels.. This is the upper range of costs. If we are taking or picking up more than one piano sharing the costs would reduce the fees. It is rare that we would make a trip to Florida, Georgia, North Carolina or Virginia for one piano. However, we will follow and attempt to meet the needs and time constraints of our customers.

Piano moving is a skill that is developed over years. Pianos do not balance well; they are very top heavy. Special equipment is required to protect the home and the instrument. It is not abundant manpower but experience and knowledgeable manpower that assures a safe and successful piano move. You cannot muscle a piano. The lid and hinges and parts should NOT be taken off a grand piano when moving. If you see your mover doing this, call someone else. You will likely NOT see these parts again. If your instinct tells you something is wrong; STOP the move before it gets worse, because it will get much worse.

There are two other options for blanket wrap moves. When hiring a firm to move your piano you need to be sure you have accountability and quality control. There are so many parts to grand pianos and you do not want to place yourself in a position where a party quotes on the move, another party picks up the instrument, they take it to a warehouse and another trucker picks it up and they may bring it to you or they may take to another warehouse. The suggestions below have proven accountability and a positive record of accomplishment. They specialize in blanket wrap piano moves for the industry. I strongly suggest you stay away from third parties that re-box or crate a piano. I can share details of this position if you have questions.

Keyboard Carriage: A local dealer, tuner, or piano company likely listed in the yellow pages in the town where your piano is located would be “hired” to pick up the instrument and bring to their warehouse. We could call them for you, or you could call the local dealers in the area. They are the best and their costs are reasonable. Their quality is awesome. Alternatively, you could contact Keyboard Carriage directly and ask them to suggest some dealers they do business with. Keyboard Carriage will not arrange the move for you; a local dealer, either us or another dealer will have to fax the request to Keyboard. If you would like Fox Music to arrange the move, we will need the make of the piano, the serial number of the piano, and the height if a vertical and the length if a grand. There is a $50.00 fee for us to coordinate the service. You will find it is a lengthy process. There is no reason you should not be comfortable saving the funds and doing the legwork yourself. I have never ever had an issue with Keyboard Carriage and strongly recommend them.

Modern Piano Movers: St Louis, MO.. They make it simple; one call and done.

Schafer Brothers: They will be a one-stop service too, and pick up at one location/home and bring to another.
