At Modern Piano Moving, we’re experts at safely relocating pianos year-round. However, the spring and summer seasons present their own unique challenges that we have to proactively plan and adjust for. Things like increased heat and humidity can have major impacts on the materials that pianos are constructed from – primarily woods, felts, and intricate metal components. Even just a few hours of exposure to extreme conditions can potentially cause expensive damage.

A piano is a large and solid instrument, but it is also very delicate and fragile and requires proper maintenance and care to remain in a pristine condition. Just the way harsh winters and dry seasons can wreak havoc on their various components, very hot and humid weather conditions can also damage it in several ways if not properly taken care of.

Whether you are moving down the street or across the country, the process of moving pianos is no simple task. Relocating a piano is unlike handling any other object in your home and requires extra time, knowledge, and care. Without proper care, your piano can be seriously damaged during the moving process.
Ideally, there should be no objects tacked onto your piano during the moving process. Here are four specific objects to avoid placing on top of a piano when you move.
