Piano and Heavy Item Moving
Uprights, grands, and organs need a trained crew and the right gear. Our Austin piano movers use padded boards, straps, and a plan for every step and doorway. Moving Texas pianos since 2013.
Careful Piano Moves
A piano can weigh from 300 to more than 1,000 pounds, and much of that weight sits on a delicate frame. One wrong turn can crack the soundboard, scratch the finish, or hurt someone.
Our crew measures the path first, pads the whole piano, and straps it to a piano board. Grands are taken apart with care, moved in pieces, and put back together in your new room. We have even moved a 500 pound organ into a Hill Country lake home after other movers said no.
