Nixon’s Oak Tree House

I have been stewing over this for three years now. I can say that Nixon’s did a fine job moving my piano (the cost was $ 250). The part that gets bad and very wrong is that I was told I should have them «service» the player piano — clean and thoroughly check it out before storing it. I agreed — even though it was an additional $ 1000+ to do so. I had to leave town so I had a friend waiting for them to clean and deliver. I heard NOTHING from them for a five weeks. When I called, it turned out that the manager (could be he was the owner) was taking EMT courses and his car had been stolen along with all of his school work and papers. He apologized for being distracted and he admitted that the piano had NOT been worked on. Amazingly, it was completed a few days later. Since I never saw it until it was moved up to Oregon, I never had the chance to play it and see «how well it would play.» My mistake. It appears to have never been cleaned and if they did happen to wipe it down, the pedals are not pumping correctly so (which they were before having it worked on.) I spent roughly $ 1500 for moving, cleaning, and repairing on a very valuable antique that needs to be fixed again — and hopefully correctly this time. My piano was definitely not a priority for them — money was though.

Five stars for Nixon’s Oak Tree House as piano movers!
This rating is for piano moving only.
This is a first class professional piano moving company.
They gave me a three hour window for when they would be
there. They were there as promised. I was having a baby
grand piano moved. no easy task for those of us that don’t
know how to do it. Probably would take three or four strong
guys to get the job done. They did it with just two guys. One
employee said that he has been moving pianos for twenty five
years! They had the equipment and expertise to not just get
the job done, but to do it correctly with not problems or issues!
In and out within 30 minutes!

Don’t try and do a job like that yourself. risk hurting yourself
and damaging the piano. Hire professionals to do it. It look
sooo easy when you are watching them! :)
