Moving to a new property can be exciting, giving you more space for the hobbies you love. If you’re a music enthusiast, the chances are you might have some musical instruments to take with you. In this article, learn how to keep your precious equipment protected.
Guitars
A popular instrument, guitars can be found in many households across the UK. From bass guitars to acoustic guitars, there’s no shortage of varieties. If you own a guitar, it’s important to protect it properly before you move, to prevent the neck from snapping and similar damage from occurring. To keep it safe while in transit, use proper packing materials and invest in a secure case for its removal. Labelling your case can also help your movers to know there’s a fragile instrument within.
Drums
As one of the largest sets of instruments, drums can be difficult to pack for a move. Thankfully, there are some ways to help your drum set get to its new home safely. Dismantling your set, where possible, can prevent it from being damaged as its components can be safely wrapped and packed in secure spaces. Bubble wrap will be your friend during the packing process, so try to source sufficient amounts for packing with.
Saxophones
Another popular instrument that can be found in many homes is a saxophone. To safely protect your saxophone for a move, it’s important to make sure it is well-protected with proper packing supplies. Avoid re-using bubble wrap, for example, as any compressed parts will not properly protect your instrument. Instead, make sure the horn especially is fully protected using new bubble wrap before it is packed into its case and moved.
Pianos
One of the most demanding musical instruments to move to a new home is the piano. Pianos come in all shapes and sizes, but the most difficult to move is undeniably the larger versions, such as the baby grand piano. To prepare to move a piano, it’s best to make sure the piano is secured with specialist moving supplies. We would always recommend contacting a professional piano moving company for piano removals, as they are trained to safely remove these heavy instruments.
Other Musical Equipment
While the instrument itself is arguably more important to protect during a move, it’s key to ensure that any additional equipment is also protected during a move. Amps, pedals and other accessories require care and concern when it comes to being moved, and should also be packed with sensible and adequate protection.
