From the smallest Spinets to the largest Grand Piano, piano moving performed by Liberty Bell Moving offers homeowners peace of mind knowing their piano is being moved by trained piano movers.
Our trained and registered Maine piano movers and piano tuners take pride in the careful disassembly padding, strapping, shipping and reassembly of your piano.
Liberty Bell Moving has the experience and equipment to handle:
* moving spinet pianos
* moving console pianos
* moving player pianos
* moving studio pianos
* moving upright pianos
* moving baby grand pianos

If you have us move and tune your piano, we recommend that the piano should be acclimated to the home for 3-4 weeks before scheduling a date for a piano tuning by our Registered Piano Technician.
PIANO FACTS
- Small Spinet piano or console piano weigh about 300-500 pounds
- Full size upright piano (also called Russian Piano) weighs about 700 pound or more
- Baby Grand piano, grand piano or parlor pianos – can weigh up to 1300 pounds
Besides the fact that piano is heavy – it is also bulky and has an uneven distribution of weight. With that comes inertia and problems with balancing when you try to maneuver it, especially when moving the piano in a narrow passage. Professional piano movers know that the piano is extremely sensitive to a shock because it has a very delicate inner mechanism.
The iron frame, also called the “plate”, sits atop the soundboard, and serves as the primary bulwark against the force of string tension (in a modern grand the total string tension can approach 20 tons). The frame is made of cast iron and if it cracks the damage is irreparable.
No matter how much care we put into moving your piano, we always recommend having it tuned post move. Pianos are knocked out of tune very easily. If a perfect pitch is a priority, consider having our registered piano tuner bring the original sound back into your Piano.
