Trusted piano movers since 2017. From uprights to grand pianos, We Move handles every shift with the right gear and a careful crew.
One Wrong Move And Your Piano Is Out Of Tune
Moving a piano isn’t like moving a couch, one wrong tilt cracks the soundboard or scratches your floor. We Move handles every type, upright to grand, with proper dollies, padded blankets, and a team that’s done this hundreds of times. Read our step-by-step piano moving guide for the full process.
Why Hire Professional Piano Movers?
People hire piano movers for lots of reasons.
- Weight & Risk: Pianos weigh 180 to 550 kg. One wrong lift can mean a snapped back or a broken leg. Pros use the right gear to lift safely.
- Fragile Internals: Inside sits over 10,000 moving parts. Sharp shifts in temperature or movement knock strings out of tune and damage hammers.
- Tricky Access: Tight doorways, stairs, and steep driveways need planning. A trained crew measures, plans, and protects every doorway.
- Floor Damage: Wheels won’t roll on carpet. A piano can tear lino, scratch wood, or crack tile if it’s dragged. We use floor runners and skids.
- Peace of Mind: With transit insurance and 9+ years of experience, you don’t have to worry. We treat your piano like it’s our own.
