Piano Moving in Glenwood Landing, NY
We run piano moving in Glenwood Landing most weeks. Piano work here runs into the same three obstacles again and again: a narrow staircase with a turn at the landing, a front stoop with a railing in the way, and a finished basement where the instrument has lived for thirty years. Getting the measurements before the day is what keeps a piano move from becoming a problem on the doorstep.
Moving in Glenwood Landing
Glenwood Landing is a hamlet in the Town of Oyster Bay, covered by ZIP codes 11545, 11547 and 11548. Our yard is in Lake Ronkonkoma, so Glenwood Landing is a short run for our trucks and we can usually offer same-day or next-day slots.
Uprights versus grands
An upright stays upright. It gets wrapped, tipped onto a piano dolly, and steered, and the difficulty is almost entirely in the weight distribution and the turns. Spinets and consoles are the manageable end. Full uprights and old player pianos are considerably more than they look.
A grand does not travel assembled. The lid is secured, the lyre and pedals come off, one leg comes off, and the instrument is lowered onto a padded skid board on its bent side, then strapped down and moved on the board. Baby grands and concert grands are the same procedure at different weights.
What we ask before quoting
Before the truck rolls we want to know what the access looks like at both ends: stairs, elevator, how far the truck can park from the door, and whether the building needs a certificate of insurance. Those four answers set the crew size and the time on site.
