Specialist piano removal equipment and movers

Specialist Piano Removals

An instrument is only ever as good as the move that got it there. We move pianos the way they deserve to be moved.

Overview

Pianos Are Not Sofas

A piano is heavy, fragile and irreplaceable. Move it wrong and you risk cracked soundboards, damaged strings and a tuning bill that dwarfs your moving costs. That's why our piano removals are carried out by trained, experienced handlers with the right equipment — never as an afterthought on a general move.

We move upright pianos, digital pianos and grands across the West Midlands and nationwide. For grands we use purpose-built skids and boards, and we assess every route before moving a note. We'll take the legs and pedals off a grand safely, protect the keyboard and soundboard, and position the piano exactly where you want it in its new home.

After every piano move we recommend a tuning appointment — no removal company can guarantee your piano will stay perfectly in tune through a journey, but a proper move keeps it as close as possible and avoids lasting damage.

Piano Move FAQs

Questions About Piano Removals

Can you move a piano upstairs?

Yes. We regularly move uprights and digital pianos up and down stairs using ramps, skids and careful technique. Grands normally stay on the ground floor, but we can advise on access.

Will my piano be damaged in transit?

Not by us. Proper wrapping, skids and handling keep the piano protected. We're insured up to £10m should anything unexpected happen.

Do you remove the legs of a grand piano?

Yes — that's standard for a safe grand move. We remove legs and pedals, protect them and reassemble everything in the new room.

Should I tune the piano after moving?

Yes. We recommend allowing the piano to settle for a few days in its new environment before tuning. We'll remind you after the move.

Do you move pianos long distance?

Yes, nationwide. See our long-distance removals for details and get a fixed door-to-door quote.
