O/T: Moving a Piano

[Curious Orange]

Bit of long-shot this, but I need to move my piano from my Grandad's house in Worthing to my 1st floor flat in Guildford. Can anyone recommend a firm specialising in shifting pianos (and have all the relevant kit/insurance to do so).

Cheers.

Laurel and Hardy did a great take on this. I forget the title of the particular film.

Was it the 'removers'?

Do you know "Summer Holiday" by Cliff Richard?

"You hum it, I'll smash yer face in"

It was the Music Box.

why didnt you just edit your post?

Tried this website - all sorts of piano related stuff:

Piano Movers

Alternatively call the lady at Watermusic in Steying, she's very helpful (recommended my tuner) and may have a suggestion...

Also there is a Piano shop in Horsham (Horsham Piano Centre), they may be worth a tinkle for a recommendation also?

Because I did not want to.

My sister is planning on moving hers soon and has a company lined up. If you still need it I can find out the name for you.

I really enjoyed that too. In fact, I'm positively upright.

I was sitting behind one of their vans on the A3 only today.

The only UK company authorised by Steinway and sons, apparently.




PS, did anyone else think this thread was the sequel to "Putting a dartboard up"?

Cheers chaps - thought it might tickle your ivories...

It ought to be combined.

'Putting a dartboard up on a moving piano...'

Well, that's the key... no strings attached.
