An upright piano weighs 300 to 500 pounds. A grand piano can top 1,000. Add delicate internal components, a polished finish that scratches easily, and awkward dimensions that barely clear most doorways, and you have one of the most challenging items in the moving business.
Every year we hear stories of DIY piano moves gone wrong: cracked soundboards, damaged legs, gouged hardwood floors, and worse — serious back and hand injuries. The money saved by skipping professional movers rarely covers the cost of repairing a piano, a staircase, or a hospital visit.
Professional piano movers use specialized equipment — piano skids, heavy-duty dollies, ramps, and thick padding — along with techniques for safely tilting, balancing, and navigating stairs and tight corners. Just as important, a professional crew is insured, so your instrument is protected from door to door.
At Acosta Moving Service, piano moving and transportation is one of our specialty services. Whether it's an upright moving across town or a grand piano that needs careful stair work, our trained crew treats your instrument like the investment it is.
