Expert Care for Your Valuable Instrument

A piano is more than furniture; it is a precision instrument with thousands of moving parts, delicate soundboards, and sensitive strings that can be easily damaged by improper handling. At MoveSafe Relocation, our piano movers receive specialized training in piano anatomy, safe lifting techniques, and the use of custom equipment designed specifically for piano transport. Whether you own an upright piano, baby grand, concert grand, or antique instrument, our team has the expertise to move it safely.

We understand that many pianos have significant monetary and sentimental value. Some are heirloom instruments passed down through generations, while others represent major financial investments. Our piano moving process is designed to protect your instrument at every step, from the initial wrapping and preparation to the final positioning in your new home. We use piano boards, specialized straps, custom padding, and climate-controlled vehicles to ensure your piano arrives in the same condition it left.

Our piano moving service is available for both local and long-distance relocations. We serve professional musicians, music schools, churches, concert halls, and private homeowners throughout all 50 states. Whether your piano needs to travel across town or across the country, our team delivers the same level of care and professionalism on every move.

Piano Moving Process

Our streamlined process ensures a smooth experience from your first call to final delivery.

01

Piano Assessment

We begin with a detailed assessment of your piano including type, size, weight, and condition. We also evaluate access conditions at both locations, including stairs, doorways, and pathways. This information determines crew size, equipment needs, and the moving approach we will use.

02

Preparation and Wrapping

On moving day, our piano specialists prepare your instrument for transport. We lock the keyboard lid, secure internal components, and wrap the entire piano in protective padding. Grand pianos are carefully tipped onto their sides and positioned on specialized piano boards for transport.

03

Careful Transport

Your piano is loaded into our truck using piano dollies and ramps designed for heavy, awkward loads. The piano is secured with specialized straps that distribute pressure safely and prevent any movement during transit. Our climate-controlled trucks maintain stable conditions throughout the journey.

04

Delivery and Placement

At your destination, we carefully unload and unwrap your piano, positioning it according to your instructions. We reassemble any components that were secured for transport and conduct a visual inspection to ensure everything is in order. We recommend allowing the piano to acclimate to its new environment before scheduling tuning.

Piano Moving FAQs

Have questions about our piano moving services? Find answers to common questions below, or contact us for personalized assistance.

What types of pianos do you move?
We move all types of pianos including upright pianos (spinets, consoles, studios, and full uprights), baby grand pianos, parlor grand pianos, semi-concert grands, concert grand pianos, and antique or specialty instruments. Our techniques are adapted to the specific requirements of each piano type.
How much does piano moving cost?
Piano moving costs depend on the type and size of piano, the distance of the move, and the access conditions at both locations (stairs, narrow doorways, long carry distances). Upright piano moves typically start around $300-500 for local moves, while grand pianos range from $500-1,500+ depending on size and complexity. We provide detailed quotes after assessing your specific situation.
Do you move pianos up and down stairs?
Yes, our piano movers are trained and equipped to navigate stairs safely. We use specialized stair dollies, additional crew members, and careful techniques to move pianos up or down stairs without damage. Stair moves require additional time and may affect pricing, but we handle them routinely.
Should I have my piano tuned after the move?
Yes, we recommend having your piano tuned approximately two to four weeks after the move. This allows the instrument to acclimate to the temperature and humidity of its new environment. We can provide referrals to certified piano technicians in your new area who specialize in post-move tuning.
Is my piano insured during the move?
Yes, your piano is covered by our moving insurance during transport. We offer both basic coverage and full value protection options. Given the significant value of most pianos, we recommend full value protection that covers repair or replacement at the current market value in the unlikely event of damage.
Can you move antique or heirloom pianos?
Absolutely. We have extensive experience moving antique and heirloom pianos that require extra-gentle handling. Our team understands the particular fragility of aged materials and finishes. We take additional precautions with these valuable instruments, including custom padding, slower movements, and enhanced climate control during transport.
