Piano Moving
Spinet, upright and grand pianos moved safely with custom rigging, climate-controlled storage and white-glove care.
A piano is heavy, awkward and easy to damage. An upright usually weighs 300 to 500 lb and a grand 500 lb or more, with a delicate soundboard, strings and finish inside. Our piano crew moves instruments of every size with piano dollies, skid boards, padded covers and ratchet straps, and plans the route (doors, turns, stairs, elevators) before anything is lifted.
Whether you are moving a family upright across Windsor or a grand piano out of a condo, you get a flat-rate quote, a fully insured crew and careful handling from the first wrap to the final placement.

Professional piano moving and care, from one crew
Moving a piano is a specialist job. We bring the equipment, the technique and the planning so your instrument arrives in the same condition it left.
Specialized equipment
Professional-grade piano dollies, skid boards, padded covers and ratchet straps, chosen for the size and type of your piano.
Piano tuning service
A move changes the temperature and humidity around a piano. Once it has settled in its new room we can arrange a tuning so it sounds the way it should.

Spinet, console, upright or grand: we know the difference
Every piano type has its own size, weight and weak points. This is how we approach each one.
Spinet piano
- Height
- 36 to 39 in
- Weight
- 250 to 350 lb
The smallest of the uprights, made for small spaces. Compact, but still heavy for its size, so we use a piano dolly, a padded cover and straps, with extra hands on stairs.
Console piano
- Height
- 40 to 44 in
- Weight
- 300 to 400 lb
A little taller than a spinet, with a direct-action mechanism that gives a fuller sound. Wrapped and strapped on a dolly, with the route planned for doorways and turns.
Upright and studio piano
- Height
- 48 in and taller
- Weight
- 350 to 500+ lb
The tallest of the uprights, with a full sound comparable to a small grand. Top-heavy, so it is padded, strapped and moved with a larger crew.
Grand piano
- Length
- 5 to 9+ ft
- Weight
- 500 to 1,200+ lb
From petite grands to concert grands. Legs and pedal lyre come off, the piano is tilted onto a padded skid board, wrapped and strapped, and rebuilt in the new room.
Interested in moving more than just a piano?
We also handle full household moves, office relocations, packing and long-distance moves, so one crew can take care of everything in a single move.
How we move your piano, step by step
- 1
Assess the piano and the route
We confirm the type and size, measure doorways and turns, and check stairs, steps, elevators and parking at both addresses.
- 2
Protect before lifting
The lid and keyboard cover are secured, legs and pedals are protected and the whole instrument is wrapped in thick moving pads.
- 3
Lift and load
Uprights go on a piano dolly. Grands have the legs and pedal lyre removed and are tilted onto a padded skid board. Straps keep everything locked in place.
- 4
Secure transport
The piano rides tied to the truck wall so it cannot shift, with other items kept clear of it.
- 5
Place and reassemble
We carry it to the room you choose, refit the legs and pedals on a grand, and set it away from heat, vents and direct sun.
How to prepare for piano moving day
- 1Clear the path from the piano to the door: rugs, furniture, cords and loose items.
- 2Tell us about stairs, steps, tight turns, elevators and parking when you ask for a quote.
- 3Take everything off the top of the piano and keep the lid and fallboard closed.
- 4Plan your tuning for a few weeks after the move, once the piano has settled in its new room.
- 5Choose a spot away from radiators, vents, outside walls and direct sunlight.
