Piano Dolly – Your New Best Friend
As we get older as a society we forget that we are not as young as we used to be. Our bodies do not recover as quick as they used to. I want to give more details. Every one remembers the day when they hurt themselves by doing a strenuous activity. The body does not heal and recover like it once did. The exciting horseplay we did as kids are quickly replaced by ice packs, ibuprofen, and long relaxing stays on the couch. I want to explain to you how the piano dolly became my new best friend.
I can remember my phone ringing. On the line was a buddy who was in the process of moving into a new larger home. He was a friend that I grew up with. We used to do everything together as kids. We were very close. He felt like family to me. He had called to ask me if I would help move a couple of the larger items that he owned before the professional movers came and moved a majority of his family’s possession.
He was very proud of a very large and very heavy baby grand piano. It was a family heirloom. It was passed down to him after the death of his father. It was very important to him. As I looked around the room I was looking for a piano dolly to help with the move. Knowing my friend I knew that he did want to spend the money to pay the high price for a professional piano mover. I knew we were on our own to move this large item.
The problem with moving a very large piano is that the piano is very awkward. The piano can easily weigh over a half of a ton. It can very easily be a back breaker. The large design of the grand piano makes the move hard to navigate. It can be very difficult to move over uneven surfaces. A mover must be careful not break one of the pianos legs and have the unit crashing down and causing serious injuries. One of the biggest obstacles is moving the grand piano through doorways. One of two things will happen. I knew we would either scratch the pianos wood surface or damage the walls. Spackling and sanding were soon to follow. I was try to think of any way not to have to move this grand piano.
To my surprise there was a ring at the door bell; at the door were 2 more helpers. With them they introduce me to my new best friend. It was a piano dolly. The piano moving equipment sturdy design made the move a lot easier. The move to the new house was made a lot easier. I inquired of the cost of the piano dolly. The average price is around $400. It was easily the best investment a person could make. It is a lot cheaper than a visit to the chiropractor. No matter how large or small your next piano move piano dolly will safely help make the job easier. A set of piano dollies will easily become your best friend too!
