San Francisco Piano Movers

A piano is heavy, valuable, and unforgiving of a bad move. Uprights, baby grands, and full concert grands each need the right crew, the right equipment, and a real plan for the stairs and doorways. We move pianos across San Francisco with the care the instrument deserves.

Pianos Only

Specialist Care

Uprights to concert grands, moved with piano boards, straps, and a crew trained for it.

A Piano Is Not Just Heavy Furniture

Moving a piano is a specialty for a reason. The weight is enormous and unevenly distributed, the finish scratches if you look at it wrong, and the internal action can be knocked out of true by a careless drop or tilt. A baby grand has to be partly disassembled and moved on its side on a piano board. An upright down a Pacific Heights staircase needs a crew that has done it before. This is not a job for general furniture movers.

We move pianos with the proper equipment and method: piano boards or skid boards, heavy-duty straps, padding for every surface, and a crew trained specifically for the instrument. We measure the path in advance, protect the piano and the home, and handle the stairs, turns, and doorways that a San Francisco move so often involves. The instrument arrives ready to be tuned and played, not repaired.

What a Piano Move Includes

Six things that keep an instrument safe.

Every Type of Piano

Uprights, spinets, baby grands, and concert grands, each moved by the method it needs.

Path Measured First

Doorways, stairwells, and turns are checked in advance so the piano and the plan actually fit.

Fully Padded

The instrument is wrapped and the floors, walls, and stairs protected before it moves an inch.

Proper Equipment

Piano boards, skid boards, and heavy-duty straps, not a regular furniture dolly.

Trained for the Instrument

A crew that understands the weight, the balance, and the finish of a piano.
