If it becomes necessary to leave your piano in a place without heating, please contact your C. Bechstein dealer for recommended storage conditions in your particular climate. Any piano-moving—whether within your home or to another building—should by done by professionals. Your instrument is heavy and delicately balanced, and cannot be compared to a piece of furniture. Only professional piano movers have the skills, equipment and experience required for this job. Furthermore, they carry insurance against any damage to your piano. In case of damage during the warranty period, faulty handling and moving by non-professionals may invalidate your claims.
