Fitting grand piano in my house

Post by winkybag99 »

Hello all,

I have sold my Yamaha U3 and am getting a second-hand Kawai RX-2. The professional firm of piano movers who took the U3 away seemed to think that it would probably be easier getting the RX-2 in than the upright. The hallway is quite small and the doors are at a fairly tight angle: I would prefer not to have the Kawai arrive only to have to take the window out...

Can anybody offer me any reassurance?

Thanks!

Ben

With out seeing the hall it difficult to say Most of the big removal company's like Piano Logistics send their workforce to widow installers to learn how to take out and replace complete windows or just the glass units on modern windows

Nobody knows better than the piano mover who's already moved a U3 from your house. If they've already told you that it will be easier than removing the U3, then just ask them to quote you for the job and at what price.(in writing)

Thanks both, sure it will be fine now. Would use my local movers but the piano is coming from a shop further afield and it's going to be considerably cheaper for me to use one of their local companies. They sound very reliable though.

Thanks again,

Ben
