Everything You Need to Know About Moving a Piano in Texas

April 3, 2024 · Huntsville Moving Inc.

Pianos are among the most challenging items to move. A standard upright weighs between 400 and 900 pounds. A baby grand, once disassembled, requires at least three experienced movers and specialized equipment including a piano board, heavy-duty straps, and furniture dollies rated for the weight.

The biggest mistake homeowners make is hiring a general moving company that has never moved a piano. A piano that tips during loading can injure a mover and destroy an instrument worth thousands of dollars. Always ask specifically: how many pianos have you moved this year?

We move upright pianos, spinet pianos, console pianos, baby grands, and full concert grands. Before we quote a piano move, James asks: what type, where is it located (first floor, upstairs, basement), and what are the access conditions at origin and destination. That information sets the crew size and equipment.
