A piano is the one thing in your home you should never move yourself. An upright runs 300 to 500 pounds; a grand can top 1,200. The weight is only half the problem — the value is in the cast-iron plate, the soundboard, and the action inside, and one bad lift or a single hard set-down can crack a leg, snap the lyre, or knock the whole instrument out of true. We are piano movers serving Los Angeles and Orange County, and moving pianos safely is exactly what the right gear and a trained crew are for.
We move every type: upright and console pianos, spinets, baby grands, full grands, digital and stage pianos, and player pianos. Each one is padded and wrapped, secured to a piano board or skid, and walked through doorways, hallways, and stairs by a crew sized to the weight — never dragged, never rushed.
We are a Pasadena-based crew working the whole LA and OC region. Whether it is moving a piano across town, up to a second-floor apartment, down a flight of stairs, or just to a new room in the same house, we bring the dollies, skid boards, straps, and padding so your piano arrives exactly as it left — and skip the rental truck and the very real risk of dropping a half-ton instrument.
A piano is heavy, top-loaded, and worth protecting. Here is what a real piano crew brings.
Piano boards, four-wheel dollies, heavy-duty straps, and skid boards for grands — the specialized gear that moves 300 to 1,200 pounds without a slip. Not a job for a borrowed hand truck.
Most piano damage happens on stairs and in doorways. We plan the route, size the crew to the carry, and take uprights and grands up and down stairs the controlled, practiced way.
Every piano is fully padded and wrapped before it moves — case, lid, keys, and pedals. We protect the finish from scratches and the action from shock, and we pad your floors and door frames too.
We quote your piano move as a flat price up front based on the type and the access — no hourly meter ticking on a careful job, and no surprise heavy-item fee after the fact.
Clear hourly rates, what's included up front, and no surprise add-ons after the move.
Need a bigger crew? Each additional mover is $40/hr.
From studio apartments to full offices, we handle the whole move — packing, wrapping, loading, and transport.
Walk-ups, condos, and high-rises. We handle elevators, narrow stairwells, and tight parking with care.
Single-family homes from 2 bedrooms to 5+. Full-service packing, wrapping, and transport — all in a day.
Offices, retail, and small businesses. After-hours and weekend moves to keep your business running.
Full pack or just the tricky stuff. We bring boxes, paper, tape, and bubble wrap — and label everything.
Sofas, safes, artwork, and oversized single pieces. Trained crew with the right equipment for the heavy, awkward stuff.
Uprights, baby grands, and grands. The right boards, ramps, and crew to move your piano safely — stairs included.
From quote to placed-in-the-room, usually same week.
Type (upright, baby grand, grand), where it is, and where it is going — including stairs, doorways, and tight turns on both ends. Use the form above or call (626) 600-0341 for a flat quote.
Piano board or skid, dollies, straps, and padding — plus the right crew size for the weight and the route. Grands are partly disassembled (legs, lyre, pedals) and moved on their side, the proper way.
We protect the piano and your home, move it safely, and set it exactly where you want it — reassembled and standing. In-room repositioning is the same careful process.
We move pianos throughout LA County and Orange County — uprights, baby grands, and grands from Westside homes and Pasadena condos to Irvine, Long Beach, and across the South Bay.

If it has keys and weighs more than you should lift, we move it. The pianos we handle most.
Studio, full, and professional uprights — the most common piano move. Tall, top-heavy, and 300 to 500 pounds. We strap, board, and balance them through doorways and down stairs without a wobble.
Shorter uprights are still a real two-to-three-person lift. We wrap the cabinet, protect the keys and pedals, and carry them cleanly — no dragging across your floors.
Legs, lyre, and pedals come off, the piano goes onto a padded skid board on its side, and it is wrapped and strapped before it moves. Reassembled and set level in the new room.
Five to nine feet and up to 1,200 pounds. Full grands need the most crew and the most care — skid board, ramps, and a planned route. This is the move you absolutely do not DIY.
Weighted-key digitals, stage pianos, and keyboards on stands. Lighter than acoustics but still awkward and worth protecting — we wrap the keybed and move the stand and bench with it.
Player pianos carry extra mechanism and weight, and antiques need extra-gentle handling on a fragile finish. We pad, wrap, and move them at the careful pace they deserve.
A short checklist that keeps move day on schedule and your piano safe.
Know the piano's height, width, and depth, and check it against every doorway, hallway, and turn on the route. Tell us the tightest spot so we plan the carry, not discover it on move day.
Number of steps, indoor or outdoor, straight or turning, and which end they are on. Stairs decide the crew size — knowing up front means the right team shows up the first time.
Move rugs, furniture, plants, and anything in the path from the piano to the truck on both ends. A clear, dry path is the single biggest thing you can do to keep the move smooth.
Close and, if possible, lock the keyboard lid (fallboard) so it can't swing open and pinch or crack. On grands, we secure the top lid before wrapping — leave it to us.
Leave the legs, lyre, and pedals on a grand for us to remove — and never tip or "walk" a piano on its casters. The casters are for show, not for moving across a room.
Remove photos, vases, sheet music, metronomes, and anything sitting on or in the piano. Nothing rides along on top — it all gets boxed or set aside before we wrap.
The shorter the carry from door to truck, the safer and faster the move. Save a spot close to the entrance on both ends; in gated communities, clear it with your HOA a few days ahead.
Decide exactly where the piano will live before we arrive — away from vents, radiators, fireplaces, direct sun, and exterior walls. We place it there so it never has to be moved twice.
Almost every piano needs tuning after a move. Wait two to four weeks for it to acclimate to the new room's temperature and humidity, then book your tuner — we move, your tuner tunes.
Piano moves take planning and the right crew, and weekends fill fast. Same-day is sometimes available, but a few days' notice gets you the best window and team.
