Moventune

I was working at Westend Piano, one of Montreal’s oldest and established piano shops, repairing and restoring pianos to earn extra money. I was working my way through university and a member of Concordia University’s varsity wrestling team.

One day we received a call from the piano mover cancelling a pick up that was a surpise birthday present for a client’s son. So we pushed the piano into a pick up and managed with clumsy effort to wrestle the piano up to the 2nd floor.

Residential and commercial moving
Moventune

Part of what makes Moventune the right choice for you is that our specialized teams work together year round for residential or commercial moving. You will feel comfortable knowing that the work will be completed in an efficient and professional manner.

We are able to move heavy and difficult objects (such as pianos, armoires, safes, etc) so you do not have to call a different company and incur additional costs.

Storage
Moventune

Climate Controlled Enviro-Room, Secure video monitoring, Private storage facility

Pianos require, above all else, a constant humidity to maintain the quality of the instrument. Our ENVIRO-ROOM is a sealed chamber designed to provide optimal conditions for Pianos, art and antiques.

It is well known, that dry conditions, especially during the winter months, followed by high humidity in the summer will cause wood to expand and contract which leads to a plethora of problems including: cracked soundboards; tuning pins that can no longer hold tension; cracked bridge; dry and brittle bridal straps, hammers, dampers etc.

All Pianos are wrapped in premium Microfibre Blankets. When we arrive at your residence we start by doing an inventory of the piano’s condition. Grands are placed on a padded skid board and double wrapped to protect them during transport as well as storage. All legs, pedals, benches and other parts are wrapped and placed into a tagged box to be kept alongside the piano.

Piano moving

Unlike regular movers, rates are determined by the following criteria

1. Type of Piano
2. Distance being moved
3. Difficulty level due to stairs, grass pulls, tight turns, etc.
4. Number of people required to move piano due to difficulty level
5. Time restraints placed on move during the daytime of year (season)
6. Waiting time that you might incur on the mover
