Why is piano moving a flat rate instead of hourly?
Pianos require specialty equipment (skid board, extra-rated dollies, ratchet straps), an additional crew member, and a risk premium your hourly rate doesn't cover. Flat-rate pricing protects both you and the mover from time-of-job surprises.
Will my piano need to be retuned after moving?
If the piano has not been tuned in 5+ years, expect a few notes to be flat after the move and budget a tuning. Movement alone does not damage the action — it shifts the pin block enough to detune a few strings.
