How we Moved an Antique Pump Organ from the 1800’s

We just moved the oldest antique item in our company’s history — a 19th-century pump organ piano from the 1800s.

Over 140 years old. Original. Irreplaceable.

Moving something like this isn’t about strength — it’s about control.

Here’s how we handled it:

  • Careful pre-move inspection

  • Protective padding with no tape on finished wood

  • Secure wrap over padding only

  • Piano board support for proper weight distribution

  • Slow, balanced loading and transport

Antique piano moving requires precision and patience. Older wood is more fragile, joints are weaker, and one wrong shift can cause permanent damage.

It arrived safely — without a scratch.
