Rick Howard started moving pianos in his hometown of Watsonville California in 1978 while still in high school and started Howard's Piano Moving in 1981. His story was the subject of an article in the Santa Cruz Weekly entitled "The Piano Mover". In that article it was described how Rick becomes "utterly immersed in thought" during a move, or when he's previewing a location to plan a move.
He's often been asked what goes through his mind at that time, and knowing that explains what makes Rick different from other piano movers. As the article says, a lot can go wrong with moving pianos, and there is a lot at stake. Its not just the instrument itself which is a sizeable personal investment and can be easily damaged by even a small bump or drop.

Report
I own the sole piano dealership in Monterey County and Rick Howard is the professional I trust to move my pianos and those of my clients. He is the best! Rick was 100% wonderful, moved a piano from my friend's house in Happy Valley near Santa Cruz to my place in San Jose. He was prompt, excellent. WOW - What an awesome job Rick Maurice Howard and Lonnie did this week, moving my granddaughter's Spinet piano across the bay to her home!
