Pianos are some of the most complex and beautiful instruments ever invented. Invented in 1700, they are not as common in American households as they once were, but nonetheless indicate class, affluence, and a cultured outlook to many. 30,000 per year are still produced in the United States, and, according to Piano Emporium, there are 18 million non-professional piano players in the country.
As is to be expected of an instrument with such a long history, pianos come in many different forms. For the most part, expert Central Illinois piano movers, like the team at Federal Companies, usually only deal with four types. Grand pianos are the largest and are likely what first comes to mind when anyone thinks of a piano. Baby grand pianos are grand pianos, with the full 88 key set, but reduced in size for ease of storage and better space utilization.Â
Upright pianos, named not because they stand upright but because of a different hammer mechanism, are generally more common than grand pianos – due to them being significantly more affordable. Electronic pianos, otherwise known as keyboards, are very popular in American households, due to their affordability and ease of transport and use.
Regardless of which type of piano you own, one thing holds true: piano moving is not for amateurs. Handled by the untrained, a relocation of a piano can quickly turn disastrous.
