Upright piano
When the route, dimensions and floor conditions can be documented in advance.
SPECIALTY ITEMS
Piano Moving
An upright, grand or digital piano assessed by model, weight and access.
A piano request requires its exact type, dimensions, approximate weight, access route and stairs to be reviewed before acceptance. An upright, digital or grand piano does not require the same resources.
DTHV evaluates each case individually and may decline it or recommend a dedicated specialist. This page does not promise that every piano or access condition can be handled.
FOR YOUR PROJECT
When this service may be useful
A few practical situations to identify when you submit your request.
Digital piano
When the instrument and detachable components require careful packing and handling.
Complex access
When stairs, tight turns or unusual weight require a feasibility review or specialist.
Which piano and which access route?
Gather the following information without moving the instrument. If a measurement or weight is unknown, say so rather than providing an unverified estimate.
| What to prepare | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Type, make and model | Identify the instrument and distinguish an upright, grand or digital piano. |
| Dimensions and known weight | Provide reference details for the assessment, noting anything still to be confirmed. |
| Photos of both access routes | Show doors, steps, landings and turns up to the loading point at both addresses. |
| Intended position at the destination | Describe the full route and the space to prepare for the instrument's arrival. |
PREPARATION
Prepare the project before moving day
Accurate information supports a realistic scope adapted to the actual access.
- 1Provide piano type, brand, dimensions and photos from multiple angles.
- 2Photograph the full route at departure and arrival, including steps and turns.
- 3Keep the area clear and do not attempt last-minute disassembly unless instructed.
- 4Plan tuning with a qualified technician after the instrument has acclimatized.
PROCESS
A clear step-by-step approach
Feasibility review
Instrument and route details are examined before service is offered.
Handling plan
Equipment and personnel under consideration depend on the confirmed case.
Protected movement
If accepted, handling follows the agreed route and scope.
Placement
The instrument is placed in the accessible agreed location; tuning is not included.
Does transportation include work on the instrument?
Transportation, repairs and tuning address different needs. Confirm the scope in the quote and disclose any known fragility; tuning is a technician's task, not part of the handling described here.
DTHV can review the available details to discuss feasibility. Do not dismantle the instrument or improvise a way out simply to prepare your request.
