Long-distance preparation questions
Moving a piano across the country or overseas requires far more than just moving blankets. It requires a custom-built wooden crate designed to withstand forklift handling, turbulent transit, and long-term shipping container conditions. We guide you through the essential preparation questions before committing to long-distance freight.
Custom protection and documentation
We construct rugged, custom-fitted crates tailored to the exact dimensions of your grand or upright piano. Inside the crate, the piano is suspended, padded, and vapor-sealed to prevent moisture damage. We also assist with the necessary dimensions and weight documentation required by international freight forwarders.
Shipping readiness checklist
To ensure a smooth hand-off to freight carriers, we provide a strict shipping readiness checklist. From securing the action mechanisms internally to removing and individually boxing the pedals and music desk, we make sure your piano is 100% road and sea-ready.
