Pitch Perfect Piano

My wife wants to learn how to play the piano. I can play a bit but have always used electronic keyboards that lack that true piano feel. Anyway a friend of ours said she wanted to get rid of her piano — for FREE — we just had to MOVE it! Well I jumped at the chance, and had to find a piano mover. I did an online search and called Pitch Perfect Piano up. Being piano tuners themselves I figured they would know more about moving them! The price was «in the ball park» of what I was expecting, so I booked them. They had to partially disassemble the piano to move it so It’s good they know what they were doing. Put all kinds of pads down on the stairs and floor as to not scratch anything. Ron and crew were really nice. Even when my wife could not decide where to put the piano, they were really good about letting her figure it out. The 25 year old piano is in it’s new home and even maintained good relative pitch (my tuners indicate it is more or less a quarter tone flat over the whole range) — no bad considering down a flight of stair, move about 35 miles, and then up another flight of stairs! They are coming three weeks from Thursday to tune it to pitch as part of the «move and tune» special. Ron sometimes sounded a little grumpy on the phone, but in person he is really nice so don’t let his phone voice put you off. If I need to move this piano again (maybe downstairs) I’ll give them a call for sure!

We used Pitch Perfect Piano to have a piano moved locally. They usually only move pianos on Saturdays — during the rest of the week, I guess they do the piano tuning, repairs, refinishing, sales and consignments.
Ron gave us a quote that matched another piano moving company, and the Saturday moving date worked better for our schedule. Later in the week, he contacted both parties (the piano’s old home and the piano’s new home) to make sure the addresses were correct, and to set up a time window for pick up and delivery. And he was right on time!
They have a «move & tune» special, where they move the piano, and after a month of it settling in its new place, will return for proper tuning.
I’d use them again if I needed a piano moved.
Tip: When planning on getting a piano moved, let the piano movers know if there are any steps or stairs at all — especially if there are none!
