A piano isn’t just heavy, it’s an oddly balanced, delicate instrument built from thousands of parts under high tension. Moving one without the right equipment and technique risks damage to the case, the action, or the people carrying it.

It is helpful if you can let us know what it is like entering the home all the way until the piano comes to its final place. Whether there are steps, doorways, thresholds, letting us know will help us prepare. A picture is worth a thousand words.

Let professionals handle the heavy lifting

Piano moving requires specialized equipment — piano boards, dollies, ramps — and experience with the instrument’s balance points. It’s not a job for a couple of friends and a furniture dolly.
