Anyone have any advice or tips for moving a babu grand piano 120 miles.
I
have ause of atrailer - about 9 x 4.

1 take the egs off?
2 transport it on its side - which side
3 umm

I looked on the HSS tool hire site but they don't have paino trolleys
for
hire.


Sorry this is rather against the philosophy, but my advice would be to
hire a specialist firm as

a: they have big burly blokes/girls to hump the thing about

b: they have nice big trailers with proper anchorage

c: they have done this sort of thing hundreds of times before

d: they have insurance in case something goes wrong.

Given the likely value of a piano worth moving I'd say d: is the
clincher. Get the advice of (say) your regular friendly piano tuner as
to which company to use.

Hwyl!

Awwwwwwww! you've stolen my thunder!

Seriously, don't DIY.
