Professional Piano Movers You Can Trust

A piano isn’t “just” heavy. It’s delicate, awkward, and often irreplaceable. One wrong angle on a staircase or one slip on a hardwood floor can mean thousands of dollars in damage. That’s why moving a piano isn’t a job for a general moving crew. It’s a job for experienced piano movers who understand the instrument inside and out.

At Sunrise Moving and Packing, our piano moving services cover everything from compact uprights to full-size concert grands. We know how to disassemble legs and pedal systems when needed, wrap and secure every surface, navigate tight doorways and staircases, and place your piano exactly where you want it.

Why Choose Sunrise as Your Piano Moving Service?

Piano Moving  Questions We Get Asked 

Should I have my piano tuned before or after the move?

After. Even the most careful move can shift a piano slightly out of tune. We recommend waiting one to two weeks after the move to let the instrument settle before scheduling a tuning.

Can you move a piano up or down stairs?

Yes. Stairways are one of the most common challenges in piano moving, and it’s one of the main reasons people hire a professional piano mover. We have the equipment and the experience to do it safely.

Do I need to empty the inside of my piano?

Remove any loose items like sheet music, metronomes, or decorations from the top and inside the bench. The internal components of the piano itself don’t need any preparation from you (we handle that.)

How much does it cost to move a piano?

Pricing depends on the type of piano, distance, and complexity (stairs, tight access, etc.). Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote.

Why Pianos Require Specialized Movers

Pianos are unlike anything else in your home. An upright can weigh between 300 and 900 pounds. A grand piano can weigh over 1,200 pounds, and has a shape that doesn’t fit through standard doorways without careful maneuvering or partial disassembly.

Beyond the weight, pianos are precision instruments. The internal components (hammers, strings, soundboard, and bridge) are sensitive to impact, vibration, and even temperature changes during transport. A standard moving truck without climate awareness and proper bracing can knock a piano out of tune or cause internal damage that’s expensive to repair.

That’s the difference between hiring movers for piano jobs and hiring a general crew. Professional piano movers plan the route, protect the instrument, and execute the move with the kind of care your piano deserves.
