Moving Pianos Through Stairs, Doorways, and Tight Turns

Getting a piano down a flight of stairs or around a sharp corner takes more than muscle. It takes technique. Our crew is trained to carry heavy, awkward instruments through narrow stairwells and tight corridors without forcing them or risking damage. We know when to pivot, when to pad the walls, and when to take a piece apart instead of fighting the turn.

This is where experience pays off. Read our tips on moving a piano without damage so you know what to expect when an upright meets a tight landing.

Uprights, Grands, and Specialty Pianos

Every piano moves differently, so we match our approach to your instrument instead of forcing one method onto every job.

Grands and baby grands

We remove and pad the legs, lyre, and pedals, then wrap and board the body for a safe, level move.

Uprights and consoles

We strap, pad, and board the piano so it stays balanced through doorways and down stairs.

We also handle the paperwork buildings often ask for, like a certificate of insurance, so your property manager can sign off well before move day.
