Storing Your Steinway Piano
On rare occasions it may be necessary to leave your piano unattended in
an unheated house. Should you be faced with this situation, we suggest that
you contact your Steinway & Sons dealer for recommendations on storage
preparations in your particular climate.
Moving Your Steinway Piano
The cardinal rule of piano-moving is never to try to do it yourself. A
professional piano mover should be called for your piano — whether the
move is up or down stairs or to a new home.
A Steinway piano is both heavy and delicately balanced. It simply cannot be regarded as another large piece of furniture. Only professional piano movers have the specialized skills, equipment and experience to do this job.
We recommend that you contact your Steinway & Sons dealer for the name of a good piano mover in your area. Your dealer can also help should you need to know the shipping volume or weight of your piano.
