1. If your Boston piano movers don't ask you what kind of piano you have, it's probably not a good idea to hire them. Moving an upright piano in Boston is all about muscle but moving a baby grand or grand piano in Boston is technique, packing the piano properly and using appropriate equipment.
2. All Boston piano movers should have proper equipment. Upright and Spinet pianos that are being moved require muscle and piano straps and maybe a dolly depending on how far the piano has to travel before entering the moving truck. Grand and baby grand piano moving in Boston should be done using a piano board. This is a padded wooden or metal board with handles - as you see below.
