What Is Piano Moving?

Piano moving is specialty relocation for uprights, grands, and digital consoles that need more than a standard furniture crew. Weight, balance, finish, and stair geometry all shape the plan.

Crews use skid boards, straps, padding, and sometimes stair climbers. Grands may need the lid, legs, and lyre handled in a specific order so the harp stays protected.

Share piano type, stairs, and photos of turns. Serve Kei quotes the move and sends a local moving crew prepared for that instrument.

What's Included in Piano Moving

Included work depends on piano type, stairs, and distance. Common work includes:

  • On-site path assessment for stairs, turns, and door widths
  • Padding and board protection for finishes
  • Disassembly of grand legs or lyre when required
  • Controlled move with enough crew for the weight
  • Reassembly and placement in the agreed room
  • Notes if a crane or window hoist is the only safe path

Request a quote for piano moving when the instrument cannot ride like ordinary furniture. Long carries, storage, or tuning after the move can be listed in the quote first.

Common Issues

  • Upright that will not fit a normal furniture plan
  • Grand that needs leg and lyre handling
  • Tight stair turns in an older home
  • Move to or from a second floor
  • Piano going into storage
  • Uncertainty whether a hoist is required

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers before you request an quote for piano moving.

Do you move grands and uprights?

Yes. Share the type and approximate size. Grands need more disassembly planning than most uprights.

Will the piano be tuned after the move?

Tuning is separate. Moving can affect tune. Ask if you want a tuner referral after settling.

What if stairs are too narrow?

The crew assesses geometry first. If the path is not viable, Serve Kei discusses alternatives before a risky lift.

Should I empty the bench?

Yes. Remove loose sheet music and objects so nothing slides during the move.

Is piano moving the same as furniture moving?

No. Pianos need specialty equipment and handling. Book piano moving rather than a generic furniture move.
