FAQ on Piano Moving

If you’re planning to move a piano, you likely have a lot of questions. Below are answers to the most frequently asked questions about moving a piano:

  • How do piano movers move such a large and heavy object?

    Our experienced team is highly skilled at handling large and heavy pianos safely. We use specialized tools, like piano dollies and straps, to carefully load your piano onto our truck. Once we load the piano, we securely fasten it to ensure safe piano transport to its destination. Our team easily navigates tight spaces, stairs, and other obstacles, ensuring your piano arrives in perfect condition.


  • What are the risks involved in moving a piano?

    The biggest risk in moving a piano is potential damage to the instrument or injury to those moving it. Improper handling can lead to scratched finishes, damaged keys, or even structural harm to the piano. Hiring professional piano movers, like Avant-Garde, eliminates these risks. We use the proper techniques, padding, and equipment to keep your piano and our movers safe during the move.

  • How much does it cost to move a piano?

    The cost of moving a piano depends on several factors, including:


    • size 
    • weight
    • distance between locations
    • additional services like piano storage or navigating stairs. 

    For an accurate estimate, contact us today for a personalized quote.

  • How to move piano to another state?

    Long-distance piano moving requires meticulous planning. At Avant-Garde, we use specialized techniques such as thick padding to protect delicate surfaces, custom crating for added security, and timely delivery by our professional team to ensure a safe and smooth move.


  • Can I move a piano myself?

    While it’s possible to move smaller upright pianos with the help of friends, it’s highly risky. Pianos are heavy, delicate, and awkwardly shaped, which makes them prone to damage or causing injury if not handled professionally.

  • Do you move pianos up or down stairs?

    Yes! Our team is experienced in navigating stairs and other challenging spaces. We use specialized equipment to ensure the piano is moved safely without damaging the instrument or your property.

  • Is my piano insured during the move?

    At Avant-Garde, we offer full insurance coverage to protect your piano from any unforeseen damage during the move. Your peace of mind is our priority.

Tips for Choosing the Best Piano Moving Company

Choosing the right piano movers is essential for ensuring the safety of your instrument. Here are some key questions to guide your decision:

  • Focus on Movers with Specialized Experience

    Choose a company that has proven expertise in handling all types of pianos, from uprights to grand pianos. Confirm they use professional tools like dollies, straps, and padding, and ensure they are properly licensed and insured.

  • Prioritize Experience Over Cost Savings

    Hiring experienced piano movers is worth the investment. Professionals know how to protect delicate components, safely navigate tight spaces, and reduce the risk of damage or injury during the move.



  • Compare Services and Pricing Thoroughly

    When comparing movers, ask about their experience with similar pianos, confirm they are fully insured, and request detailed quotes. Look for companies with a proven track record of successful piano moves and a commitment to exceptional customer service.

  • Look for Companies Offering Unique Expertise

    Once we load the piano, we securely fasten it to ensure safe piano transport to its destination. They also have skills in handling rare or antique pianos. Advanced tools and personalized solutions are also key indicators of exceptional service.

COI (Certificate of Insurance)

If you’re moving in or out of the apartment building, your building may require your moving company to submit a Certificate of Insurance (COI) before the movers can even step inside it. 


COI legacy protects buildings in case of any damages and building management often requires documentation and proof of insurance to ensure moving company is properly covered.


COI is included in our rates and all you have to do is send us a sample/coi requirements from the building management.
