Looking for piano movers.

May 21, 2009 2:36 PM

Please recommend (or warn me against) a piano mover in the city of Chicago. I need to move my sister's baby grand piano about two miles from her townhouse (Bucktownish) to my first floor condo (Boys' Town). We pretty much can't ask our friends to do this for beer and brats.

If you don't get any personal recs, call the symphony or music school in the city and ask who they use. That's how my mom found movers for her Model M piano (a little bigger than a baby grand).

I know these folks are in the Chicago area. The videos are a hoot.

Avoid E-Z Movers like the H1N1 virus, they suck.

rtha's is a good recommendation. perhaps call the people at the Old Town School of Folk Music -- the staff members there are probably more accessible than, say, the people at the CSO.
