Moving a DKV Upright

Moving a DKV Upright

2017-08-26 by Sam Kanter

I will be moving a MX 100 to a different apartment in the same building. There is a large service elevator. Do you think regular movers can do this without damaging the piano, or do I need to hire specific piano movers? I am concerned about delicate electronics in Disklavier. 

Thanks in advance,

They will need to put it on a good 4 wheel dolly and keep the piano from falling over during the process. As long as they do that, there should be no problem.

Be sure to unplug the piano before they arrive.

I don't think they are that delicate of an instrument. I would have it tuned after the move. Don't roll it on its casters.
