Piano movers

Post by Parsifal »

I am new to the forum and I have been away from my piano for a few years. Now that I am settled in the UK I am looking to bring my piano over from Spain. Can anybody recomend any piano movers? I have tried the link in this website but I got very few responses and the quotations vary enormously... :shock:

Butler Piano Movers might be worth a try. No ideal if they go that far and I guess it will cost a bit and you will have to wait some time. 01487833021 ask for Steve. I guess if you can find a general movers who wont smash it up for you it would be much cheaper to use them if they do regular runs to Spain.

The big 3 movers will not be cheep to Spain as Spain is off the main piano route, they will have to do a part empty run and that's the cost.

Unless it is a good quality piano it may be cheper to buy in the UK - your other option is to use a House remover as a part return load as south Spain is popular route However, if it is a good make then I would not trust a House remover at all and companeys like pickfords use Piano Logistics to move expensive grands

Try Kraus and Pabst in Germany, they collect and distribute pianos for Yamaha in Europe, and also for kemble. They deliver to spain and collect. I wouldn't use Butlers, I don't rate them. They also make regular trips to the UK.
