Does Moving Put A Piano Out Of Tune?

If a piano is being carefully moved from one room to another in the same building, then it will not affect how it will sound. But if it is being transported to another location, then it might need some work done to it.

Professional piano movers have temperature controlled trucks that will keep the humidity and temperature at an appropriate setting for a piano. They will also have a covering and straps, or belts, to secure the piano in place.

Because the piano is in a new environment, it would have to adjust itself before stabilizing, which could take a few weeks. After that time has passed, it may have to be tuned to make sure it functions appropriately.
