Moving an upright or baby grand piano?
Quick answer: Our San Diego piano movers move upright and baby grand pianos as a standalone job or as part of a household move. Share the piano type and photos of the route at both addresses so we can review the stairs, turns and equipment needed.
A piano may fit in the room and still be difficult to get out. The narrow point may be a door, the turn at a stair landing, or the space between an elevator and the hallway. Walk the entire route at both addresses before you request an estimate.
What to photograph before you request an estimate
Start with a full photo of the piano and a picture that shows how it sits in the room. Then show the stairs, landings, tight turns and outside approach at each address. If there is an elevator, include the doorway and the space to turn in front of it.
How the crew plans for upright and baby grand pianos
Tell us which type of piano you have and whether the delivery room is on a different floor. The crew is sized to the item and access, and brings the piano boards, padding, straps and ramps called for by the move. Share any change to the access route before the crew arrives.
Moving a piano by itself or with a household
For a single-item move, put the pickup and delivery details in the estimate request so we can review the piano route on its own. For a household move, add the piano to your inventory and point out the room where you want it placed.
