That baby grand piano you have is usually worth more than your house or your car, and come moving day, it is going to be under a lot of risk. This is one instance when you shouldn’t put your trust in a moving team, or think about doing it yourself. Moving your piano from your old house to the new one has to be done by a professional piano mover.

Entrusting your baby grand piano to a regular moving company may be more practical, but this can be a very bad idea. You see, baby grand pianos aren’t like your TV or fridge that can be transported as is, they have to be taken apart then put back together at your new place. Imagine what inexperienced hands can do to your piano. This can result in a lot of damage and—if the piano is a family heirloom and has a dear place in your heart—a lot of grief.

You can ask stores that sell baby grand pianos about professional movers that they know about. Most piano stores have their own movers that cater to people who just bought new pianos, and you can ask if they can help you with your move. The manufacturer of the piano can also help you find reputable movers.

If ...
... you’re simply moving from one spot in Jackson Hole to another, the moving process can be pretty easy. The piano movers will go to your home, disassemble the baby grand piano, and wrap the parts separately to protect the finish. These parts will be reassembled when you get to the new place.

Once you’ve settled in to your new piece of Jackson Hole realty, you might notice a slight change in the pitch of your baby grand piano. This is because the instrument has been subjected to changes in humidity, and will continue to fall out of tune in the next few weeks. Make sure to play the piano as much as you can to urge the keys to fall out of tune quicker.

After a couple of weeks, you can hire a piano tuner to come to your home and fix the piano. This would also be a good time to have adjustments on the pitch and action of the piano done. If you can, the place you should be moving to should have the same humidity as the place you came from. You can ask Jackson Hole realtors about this before you look for a house.

If you still haven’t found a new home, you can check the Jackson Hole MLS for available real estate. For more information, you can visit ChansenPianos.com or MadeMan.com.
