Davis Piano Moving was founded in 1964 in Columbus, Ohio by William F. Davis Sr. In 1964 Mr. Davis was married with three children and working on the assembly line at Ranco. In the evenings and weekends he would occasionally help a local piano store move their pianos that had been purchased to their customers' homes. In the beginning Mr. Davis was only getting paid $3.00 a piano. Over time, his ability to move pianos with great care and perfection was noticed by other piano stores. He rapidly began getting requests from other stores asking him to move their pianos. Mr. Davis eventually made the tough decision to leave Ranco's assembly line and branch out starting his own piano moving business which is now known as Davis Piano Moving. He started out using a trailer that hooked up to his car and over the next couple years he worked his way up to a pick-up truck and eventually a full size truck with a hyrdaulic tailgate. Mr. Davis had slowly established himself within the community moving pianos for customers, schools, stores, theatres, churches, etc. His decision to be solely a piano and organ mover had set himself asided from others. This set his reputation as a specialist in this field.
