Baby Grand Piano Movers

Nothing brings back fond memories of schoolrooms, grandma’s house, the Sunday School classroom, or the local honkey tonk like a solid old upright piano. Made to be tough and endure just about anything you could subject it to, upright pianos are as much part of the history of Colorado as ore carts and saddle blankets.

What are not fond memories is if you have had to move one of those tough fellows.

Upright pianos by nature are heavy. The normal rule of thumb is if a piano is over four feet tall, it weighs over 800#. Put that in the very compact body of an upright piano made of hardwood with a solid cast iron soundboard covering nearly the whole back, and you have a whole lot of dead weight. People that do not know what they are in for often get injured or seriously damage upright pianos moving them.

There are actually four kinds of vertical pianos, of which an upright is the largest and tallest. The studio, a smaller, shorter version of the upright, is made for studio and teaching, and often has somewhat better quality internal parts. A console, up to 51”, usually is chosen for the wood that matches living room furniture. The spinet, smallest at 36-46”, is notorious for going out of tune easily when moved due to their limited equipment. Each of these versions were also made into player pianos, for which the weight increases dramatically due to mechanical parts.

Upright pianos have often been with families or residing at some place for decades without being moved. When they are, due to drying out, settling, boring insects, and other issues, moving can become challenging. The saddest day in the life of an upright piano is when the soundboard gets cracked due to careless moving techniques and equipment use. Shifting or dropping can easily cause such a break.

The second saddest, and most common, is when legs are broken off due by improper moving in all pianos. You don’t just scoot a piano leg. Upright pianos generally have spindly legs with inadequate brass casters that cut deep into laminate, mar hardwood, and crack tile when rolled across them unprotected.

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!

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.
