Piano Moving

Piano Moving

Pianos are heavy, large and constructed differently from ordinary household furniture. Upright and grand pianos require careful planning based on the instrument, access and destination.

Planning a Piano Move

  • Piano type and dimensions
  • Approximate weight and construction
  • Stairs and elevators
  • Doorway and hallway clearance
  • Pickup and delivery access
  • Protective materials
  • Moving equipment
  • Placement at the destination

Depending on the instrument and conditions, portions of a grand piano may need to be removed or secured for transportation.

Pianos Are Specialty Items

Stairs and Elevators

Access is especially important for piano moves. If your building has stairs, see our walk-up moving guide. If the property uses a service elevator, review our elevator moving guide.
