Moving your piano or organ to a new location does not have to be difficult. With the right training, these large instruments can be safely and quickly moved from one property to another—and our Glendale movers have that training.

How do we move pianos?

Piano moving intake begins with an interview of the details surrounding the moving of your piano in Santa Monica. We would like to know what type of piano is being moved, is there any stairs or elevators. Type of stairs involved: straight, wide, spiral, or complicated turns. After the questionnaire we will deliver a free online or telephone quote and make reserve the date for you. On a day of the move we will send 2 to 3 movers, depending on the piano being moved in a fully quipped truck. Piano will be disassembled to remove all moving parts and individually packed and wrap to protect them. Next, piano is wrapped in blankets and plastic wrap. Then, piano is positioned on a piano moving skid board, secured and transported to the moving truck. Upon delivery, the process is performed in reverse sequence and piano is placed to the desired location. Keep in mind, that after any piano move, the instrument will need to be professionally re-tuned.
