Pianos are delicate instruments, so great care must be taken when moving them. With our help, you can ensure that your piano arrives safely at its new home.


If you're planning on moving a piano, you probably have a lot of questions! Here are some answers to the most frequently asked questions about professional piano moving:


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

    Our piano movers are experts at safely moving large and heavy objects. They use specialized equipment to load the piano onto a truck or trailer, and they secure it in place to prevent it from shifting during transit. They also have experience navigating tight spaces and maneuvering around obstacles, so you can rest assured that your piano will arrive at its destination safely.

  • What are the risks involved in moving a piano?

    There are a few risks involved in moving a piano, but they can all be mitigated with proper planning and execution. The most common risk is damage to the piano, which can occur if it's not properly secured during transit. Another risk is injury to the movers or bystanders, which can happen if the piano falls or shifts during the move. However, as long as you hire experienced and reputable movers, these risks should be minimized.

  • How much does it cost to move a piano?

    The cost of hiring professional piano movers varies depending on a number of factors, including the distance of the move, the number of pianos being moved, and whether any additional services are required (such as storage). For more information on our pricing, please connect with us today. 

  • How to move piano to another state?

    When moving your piano to another state, it's best to trust professional movers who specialize in piano transportation. Opt for a reputable moving company with experience in long-distance moves. Ensure they offer premium White Glove service, especially for upright pianos, to guarantee safe and secure transportation.

Console

Similar to upright pianos but taller, console pianos often have decorative designs on their cabinets.


Player

 Equipped with mechanisms for automatic music playback, player pianos need special care during relocation.


Square

An early style characterized by a square-shaped cabinet and horizontal strings, square pianos are less common but still occasionally moved.

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.
