- Do you carry liability insurance in case something in the home is damaged?

Pianos and organs: what Ann Arbor takes
No item-specific rule turned up for pianos and organs on the official Ann Arbor pages, so the general bulky item rules below apply.
Uprights often weigh several hundred pounds and grands far more, so moving one down steps takes several people and the right equipment. Ask a piano technician whether yours is worth restoring before you pay to have it removed.
