Parlor Grand Piano Movers

Occasionally we are fortunate enough to be asked to move a family heirloom grand piano, often rosewood or solid ebony. It is not unusual for these beautiful works of musical architecture to be carved or inlaid. Often a parlor grand, they are smaller than a full grand piano, as they were built to fit in living rooms and parlors, a sitting rooms where guests were entertained.

Small, however, does not mean lightweight. Many parlor grand pianos weigh in excess of 1,000 or more pounds depending on what woods they were made from, and some closer to three-quarters of a ton! That is not a job you want Uncle Joe and the boys to undertake for payment in cold beverages. It is a job for a Colorado Springs piano mover that knows what they are doing, both for the piano and the movers’ safety.

Parlor grands are generally 5’9” to 6’1” long, which makes wrestling them through most houses challenging at best. Floor protection is a must, and the mere dismantling of the legs, pedals, and rack off the piano, as well as securing the lid and protecting the strings is an art in itself. It requires experience and special equipment.

Due to the historical nature of many parlor grands, their wood is often brittle, and shrinkage causes inlay or marquetry to pop out. Moving a piano of this size and weight without proper padding, taping, strapping, a piano skid board, and other special equipment simply is asking for an unhappy damaged outcome.

A piano mover with experience in Colorado Springs knows that the climate here makes a difference in wood, the primary exterior component of your heirloom or antique grand piano. That is another strong reason to hire a qualified local professional that understands the instrument and what may affect it during a transition from one location to the next.

What They Say About Us...

This is a truly great piano moving company. A 6-man crew moved a very heavy, 5-foot baby grand up a staircase with a turn in our home. I was told by 4 different piano moving companies that it would be an impossible job. But, although it was a very difficult move, Piano Mover Colorado Springs was able to get the piano to my 2nd floor. And there was absolutely no damage done to the walls along the staircase, the stairs and railing, nor the piano itself. The move was very coordinated among the crew members -- each member had a specific job and place to be while maneuvering the piano up the stairs. I really appreciate their services and highly recommend them to anyone looking to move a piano. If you've been told "it's impossible", this company will get it done.

I hired Piano Mover Colorado Springs to move a reed organ. They were great! The movers were timely, professional, and friendly, too. They did the move with the greatest respect for our property, and were in and out very quickly. I wholeheartedly recommend them for your piano moving needs!

Outstanding service. Knowledgeable, friendly and inexpensive. These people are experts, and they were able to move a baby grand with outstanding skill in no time flat. What more could you ask?

Piano Mover Colorado Springs did a fabulous job moving my baby grand piano! I was very impressed at how fast they moved my piano & set it up at my new home. These guys have been moving pianos for years & it shows!!! They are both very professional. I highly recommend them!

What a great group of movers and quick and efficient I must say. I had to get an upright piano moved within 18 hours and it was a breeze for them plus reasonable prices. They were even able to add another move that a friend of mine needed with the same deadline. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needed to move a piano of any kind if they want something quick and efficient. These guys don't play around. When they say they can have the move done they really do mean it.
