Also called: Specialty Piano Mover
Moves pianos weighing up to 1,000 pounds up stairs, through doors and onto concert stages without a scratch.
A piano mover wraps a grand piano in padded blankets, takes off its legs and pedals, and straps it on its side to a special board. Then the crew carefully carries it down a narrow staircase, one step at a time. They also deliver concert pianos to halls and store pianos in climate-controlled warehouses.
