A piano or grand piano is heavy, valuable and delicate all at once. Transport requires special equipment and experience. Here’s what matters.

Why not a do-it-yourself transport

A piano easily weighs 200 to 300 kilograms, a grand piano even more. Inexperienced carrying leads to damage to the instrument, walls and stairs – and a considerable risk of injury.

How the professional transport works

With the right equipment the transport is safe and low-vibration:

  • Special straps and piano dollies
  • Padding and protective blankets
  • For narrow stairwells: use of a furniture lift
  • Full insurance of the instrument during transport

FAQ
