Professional Piano Moving

Safe. Precise. Handled by Piano Experts.

Moving a piano is not the same as moving furniture. A piano is a precision musical instrument, often weighing hundreds of pounds, with thousands of delicate moving parts that can be damaged by improper handling. At Christopher Piano Service, piano moving is performed by piano professionals—not general movers—who understand both the physical and musical integrity of the instrument.

Whether it’s a family upright, a concert grand, or a rare heirloom piano, we move your instrument with the same care and respect we give our own.

Why Choose Christopher Piano Service for Piano Moving?

Piano Specialists — Not General Movers

Our team specializes exclusively in pianos. We understand balance points, structural stress, action sensitivity, and how improper handling can affect tuning, regulation, and long-term performance.

Proper Equipment & Techniques

We use professional-grade piano dollies, skid boards, lifting systems, padding, and secure strapping—never shortcuts. Each move is planned to protect both the piano and your home.

Fully Protected & Professionally Wrapped

Every piano is carefully wrapped with clean, high-quality moving quilts and protective materials. Legs, pedals, lids, and vulnerable areas are secured to prevent movement or impact.

Homes, Stairs, Tight Spaces & Difficult Access

From ground-floor homes to multi-story residences, tight hallways, staircases, and challenging entries—we have the experience to handle complex moves safely and efficiently.

Short Moves & Long-Distance Relocation

Whether your piano is moving across the room, across town, or to a storage facility, we provide the same professional standard of care.

Before & After the Move

We strongly recommend allowing your piano time to acclimate after a move before tuning. Changes in humidity, temperature, and position can affect pitch and stability. Because we are also professional piano technicians, we can advise on post-move tuning, regulation, or inspection to keep your piano performing at its best.
