How to Move a Grand Piano


Here is the piano that Mom and Dad have had for 6 years.  It was made in 1932.  It is a 6 foot grand piano.   It takes up quite a bit of space in the front room.  It has lost it's ability to be tuned.  Dad decided he wants an upright piano.  No one wanted to buy it.  Lee's Music said they could not sell it to someone and not have it hold a tune.  Dad decided, To the dump it goes.


We tried to take it apart, bolt by bolt.  It had too many bolts and screws.


Time for the saws-all.


Cutting it into smaller pieces made it easier to carry.


Dad put down a tarp, but there was plenty of dust in the air.


It was hard for Toby to watch.


Legs off.


We could not cut up the resonating board 


Keyboard all comes out in one piece.


The resonating board was too heavy to pick up.  We rolled it out to the trailer.


Seems like a big room with that piano out.


All loaded on the trailer, headed to the dump.


Later that same afternoon.  Back from Riverton with the new piano.  Bought it off of KSL.com 


Enjoying the new piano.


Sounds great.

  1. It was the most fun I have had moving a piano. Not too often a saw is needed to move a piano.
