Our Process
How It Works
Piano Assessment
We ask about your piano type, size, current location, and destination. We need to know about stairs, doorways, and any access challenges. For complex moves, we conduct an in-person assessment to plan the safest approach.
Equipment & Crew Prep
We bring specialized piano moving equipment and assign experienced crew members. Grand pianos require 3-4 movers and specific techniques for leg removal, board preparation, and safe maneuvering.
Careful Disassembly & Padding
For grand pianos, we carefully remove legs and pedals, secure the lid, and wrap everything in thick blankets and protective padding. Upright pianos are fully padded and strapped to specialized piano dollies.
Safe Transport & Setup
We navigate doorways, stairs, and tight spaces with precision. At your destination, we reassemble, position, and level your piano. We recommend professional tuning after any move, but your piano will be safe and ready.
FAQ
Common Questions
How much does piano moving cost?
Piano moving costs depend on type, size, and access challenges. Upright pianos typically range from $350-$550. Baby grand pianos start at $550. Full concert grands start around $900. Stairs, long carries, and crane/hoist situations add to the cost. We provide accurate quotes after understanding your specific situation. All equipment, insurance, and specialized labor are included in our pricing.
Can you move pianos up or down stairs?
Yes, we specialize in staircase piano moves—it's one of the most common challenges in San Diego homes and condos. We use specialized equipment and techniques to safely navigate pianos up or down stairs. For extremely difficult situations (narrow staircases, tight turns), we can coordinate crane or hoist services to lift the piano through a window or balcony. We assess every situation to determine the safest approach.
Will my piano need tuning after the move?
Yes, we always recommend professional tuning after moving a piano. Even with the most careful transport, pianos experience vibration and environmental changes during a move that affect tuning. Most piano technicians recommend waiting 2-4 weeks after the move for the piano to acclimate to its new environment before tuning. We can provide piano tuner referrals if you need recommendations in the San Diego area.
