Moving a piano downstairs - help!

Hi all - not sure if this is a good place to ask this question, but I need to move my piano down some stairs and through a door. It's going to be a tight fit and will probably need a professional firm.

Can anyone recommend a firm in SW London? I'm based in Wandsworth.

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers,

Ted

Maybe not the right time to say this but when I have a child who wish to learn an instrument I will go all out to suggest he/she pick up the violin etc as long as it is not the piano.

 

And then it'll take your child about 3 or 4 years to produce a decent C (the same applies to all notes) whereas with a piano, you'll hear one every time a C key is pressed and you'll wish you had bought a piano instead.

 

String instruments are generally the most unfulfilling early days. If you want them to make rapid progress try them on flute or clarinet whichever suits their chops. Brass you should really wait until there mouth is formed or it can cause problems later on if they get serious about it.

 

I started on the piano at an early age..
And because we moved house quite a few times I discovered how painful they can be to move - especially as we had a solid oak oversprung Pfeifer... And never got removals men in, or even a tail lift truck!
Grand pianos are much easier, wot with the removable legs.

 

I can recall rolling around on the floor laughing, along with my younger brother when Laruel & Hardy where moving a Piano in one of their sketches.

The first thought that entered my head when i saw this thread was Lauel and Hardy, good luck !

 

Best musical instrument of the lot is the voice. Its the only one my children have stuck with after piano, flute, recorder and drums.
