HOW DO PIANO MOVING COMPANIES HANDLE STAIRS AND TIGHT SPACES?
Moving your delicate yet enormously heavy piano upstairs, around corners, and through tight spaces requires the finesse of a moving team with plenty of experience. To overcome these challenges, we employ techniques and equipment, including piano dollies and stair climbers, to maneuver your instrument safely and efficiently.
Our skilled movers carefully assess your situation and create a customized plan for each part of your piano’s move, ensuring your instrument's safe passage through even the most challenging spaces.
HOW DO YOU MOVE A PIANO THROUGH NARROW DOORWAYS?
Your new space may be at the top of a steep set of stairs or through a narrow doorway. Don’t let this stop you from bringing your beloved instrument with you. Our moving specialists think of everything to protect your property and piano during transport.
Here’s how we do it:
- We measure everything, including your piano, doorways and hallways, and any other space your piano will pass through en route to its destination.
- We plan transport routes carefully. Our team identifies the more direct path and removes obstacles like furniture whenever possible.
- We disassemble your piano legs, pedals, and other detachable parts to reduce its size and weight.
- We protect your piano with clean moving blankets and padding to safeguard its finish from scratches and dents.
- We move your instrument slowly and carefully, checking for clearance and adjusting as necessary.
Handling Pianos with Care
Pianos aren’t like other items in your home, and they’re not like other instruments you might find in the studio. Some grand pianos are upwards of 6 feet in length, and they can weigh as much as 1200 pounds. With removable legs and a wide variety of priceless mechanical components, pianos need to be handled with care. Failing to do so won’t just compromise the piano, but it could even compromise the integrity of your floors, hallways, and other surfaces.
Needless to say, these heavy-duty and valuable acoustic instruments require the attention of professional movers. It isn’t enough for a team of movers to be strong—they also need to know how to specifically handle pianos. That is where the professional piano movers at our moving company come in.
Promising quick turnarounds and the hardest working moving crew in the community, we are here for you. Let us be the ones to move your piano to your new location.

Step by Step Piano Moving
Pianos come in all shapes and sizes. Some electric pianos are heavy but may not be as large as other acoustic pianos. Over the years, we have had experience moving pianos of all varieties, including:
- Grand pianos
- Upright pianos
- Electric pianos
- And more
Every type of piano comes with a variety of moving considerations. Electric and grand pianos, for example, may have detachable legs and pedals. The first thing we will do during the moving process is detach these legs and safely pack them with adequate padding. After that, we will wrap and pad the grand piano’s housing, case, and lid to ensure it remains scratch-free.
After that, the piano moving process unfolds much like a standard move—but with greater caution and care. Relying on dollies, numerous skilled movers, and whatever equipment seems necessary, we will transport your piano with ease.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO MOVE A PIANO?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to how long it will take to move a piano. Since they come in a range of shapes, sizes, and varieties and are all moving into unique spaces, our movers consider a variety of things before providing a service timeline estimate.
Here are some of the factors that affect moving time:
- Piano type and size
- Moving distance
- Move complexity
- Disassembly and reassembly
- Packing and protection
- Weather considerations
PREMIUM PACKING MATERIALS FOR YOUR PIANO
A piano is often the most beautiful and meaningful item our clients have when they move. Nothing is so timeless and elegant as a classic piano – and nothing needs more protection when moving. Without the proper care and precautions, pianos can suffer from bumps, scratches, and damage. You need to be sure your moving company supplies the proper materials to keep your piano safe.
We only use tested supplies to keep your piano safe in a move. This means packing enough safe moving blankets, strong packing tape, and the right wrapping to keep all lids, keys, and wood finishing secure and covered. On the road, nothing should be able to damage your beautiful piano, and with our experts packing it up, you can have confidence in its pristine condition when it gets to your new location.

What’s the Best Way To Pack a Piano for a Long-Distance Move?
When your piano is destined for a long-distance voyage, there are some packing best practices that will put your mind at ease and protect your beloved instrument from the potential for bumps, scrapes, or scratches throughout its journey. It all starts with selecting the right packing materials.
Would custom-fit padding and a reinforced crate be the most appropriate way to transport your piano? What about a moisture-resistant cover to keep dampness, rain, and humidity away from your piano while it’s on the move? We’re solutions providers that’ll help you decide how to secure each piano part, from keys to pedals, to reduce your piano’s risk of damage during transit.
When your instrument arrives, it’ll only take us a short time to install it and set it up before it’s ready for you to play in your new home.
How Do You Prepare Your Piano for Storage?
Are you traveling for a time or staying in a place that isn’t set up to facilitate the use of a large piano? That’s ok. We have piano storage options that keep your instrument safe and in excellent condition, while you’re busy taking care of business, spending time with loved ones, or exploring another part of the world. Before packing begins, we recommend thoroughly cleaning your piano to remove dust and debris that could harm your piano’s finish or internal components over time.
Next, secure the moving parts, including the keys, pedals, and cover, to prevent shifting. Then, cover your piano with a soft, breathable cloth to protect it from dust and scratches. Choose a climate-controlled storage space to regulate humidity and keep wood from warping and strings from succumbing to rust.
You should also use a level pallet or padded base to avoid placing your piano in direct contact with the floor.
