Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The cost of moving a piano depends on the type of piano (upright vs. grand), the distance of the move, and the complexity of the locations. Moves involving multiple flights of stairs or tight turns will typically cost more. Contact us for a free, customized quote based on your specific situation.
Yes, moving a heavy piano up or down stairs or maneuvering it through tight corners requires additional time, labor, and specialized techniques to ensure safety. We will ask about the layout of both locations during our initial assessment so we can provide an accurate quote without any hidden surprises.
Absolutely. We are fully insured, meaning your piano is covered against damage from the moment we begin packing it until it is safely placed in your new home. We treat your valuable instrument with the highest level of care, but our insurance provides you with total peace of mind.
We highly recommend having your piano tuned after a move. While our physical handling is very gentle, the natural changes in humidity and temperature between locations, as well as the minor vibrations during transport, can cause the instrument to go out of tune. It's best to wait a few weeks for the piano to acclimate to its new environment before calling a tuner.
Yes, we offer secure, climate-controlled temporary storage facilities. Pianos are very sensitive to temperature and humidity changes, so our specialized storage ensures your instrument remains in pristine condition if your new home isn't quite ready for it yet.
