FairPrice Movers provides professional Southeastern Pennsylvania white glove moving services for piano moving throughout the region. Our team specializes in safely relocating upright, baby grand, and grand pianos using careful planning, protective materials, and proven handling techniques.
From Philadelphia and King of Prussia to Reading, Lancaster, and Allentown, we help homeowners move delicate and heavy instruments with precision. Piano moving requires more than strength—it requires experience, preparation, and attention to detail to prevent damage to both the instrument and your home.
Pianos are one of the most difficult household items to move. They are extremely heavy, delicate, and sensitive to movement.
A standard upright piano can weigh between 400 and 600 pounds, while grand pianos can exceed 800 pounds or more, requiring multiple trained movers and specialized equipment.
Unlike furniture, pianos cannot simply be lifted and transported. Their internal components must remain stable, and improper handling can lead to structural or tuning damage. That’s why piano moving should be treated as a form of specialty moving service, especially when dealing with stairs, rowhomes, historic properties, or apartment access.
Understanding your piano type helps determine the moving process, labor, and cost.
Typical Piano Weights:
Larger pianos require additional movers, specialized padding, and more detailed planning to safely transport them.
Piano moving becomes significantly more complex depending on the layout of your home and the type of piano being moved.
We regularly handle:
