Right Equipment

Grands and uprights moved right

Piano boards, skids, padding, and trained crews move every type of piano, including grands that need legs and pedals removed for safe transport.

Pianos are not furniture, and we do not move them like furniture.

A piano packs hundreds of pounds into an unbalanced shape, with a finish that marks easily and an action that does not forgive a hard knock. Two friends and a dolly is how pianos get dropped and floors get gouged.

Royal Moving & Storage moves pianos with the equipment and method the job requires. We pad and wrap the instrument, use a piano board or skid, manage stairs and tight turns deliberately, and set it safely in its new spot. For grands, we remove and refit the legs and pedals.

How we move a piano safely.

The method that keeps the instrument and the house intact.

01

Assess the move

We confirm the piano type, the path at both ends, and any stairs, turns, or doorways the move has to clear.

02

Protect and prep

The piano is padded and wrapped, and on a grand the legs and pedals come off for safe transport.

03

Board and move

It is secured to a piano board or skid and moved by a crew working the stairs and turns deliberately.

04

Place and refit

The piano is set in its new spot, legs and pedals refitted, and the wrapping removed.
