Moving a piano requires specialized knowledge, equipment, and careful handling that goes far beyond standard moving services.

Why Piano Moving Requires Specialists
Pianos are among the most challenging items to move. They can weigh anywhere from 300 to over 1,200 pounds, have irregular weight distribution, and contain thousands of delicate internal components. Our trained piano movers understand:
Proper lifting and carrying techniques for different piano types
How to protect the finish, legs, pedals, and keyboard
Safe navigation through doorways, hallways, and stairs
When and how to disassemble grand piano legs safely
Secure loading and positioning in the truck to prevent shifting
Our Piano Moving Process
Assessment: We evaluate your piano type, location, and any access challenges
Preparation: Keyboard is locked, lid secured, and exterior wrapped in protective padding
Moving: Using specialized piano dollies, boards, and straps for safe transport
Loading: Secure positioning in the truck to prevent any movement during transit
Delivery: Careful placement in your new location, including reassembly if needed
Piano Moving in Alberta's Climate
Alberta's climate presents unique considerations for piano moving:
Winter conditions require careful scheduling and preparation
We minimize exposure time during extreme weather
Humidity changes between seasons can affect tuning stability
We recommend allowing your piano to acclimate before tuning after a move
