Professional Piano Moving in NYC
A piano is more than just a piece of furniture — it's a precision-crafted instrument with thousands of moving parts, delicate strings, and a finish that can cost thousands to restore. Moving one through the narrow hallways, tight staircases, and temperamental elevators of New York City takes specialized knowledge and equipment.
NYC Green Line Movers has years of experience transporting pianos of all sizes across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. From a vintage upright in a Park Slope brownstone to a concert grand heading to a Midtown studio, we have the tools and expertise to get the job done safely.
Types of Pianos We Move
Upright Pianos
300–800 lbs. We use a piano board, straps, and padding to navigate doorways and stairs safely.
Baby Grand Pianos
500–600 lbs. Legs are removed, the lid is secured, and the body is wrapped and transported on its side.
Grand Pianos
600–1,200 lbs. Full disassembly of legs, lyre, and lid. Custom crating available for long-distance or high-value instruments.
Digital & Electric Pianos
Lighter but still fragile. Electronics are protected from shock and moisture during transit.
Our Piano Moving Process
- Pre-Move Inspection: We evaluate the piano, assess the path (stairs, elevators, doorway widths), and plan the safest route.
- Full Wrapping & Padding: The entire instrument is covered with thick moving blankets and secured with stretch wrap to prevent scratches.
- Specialized Equipment: Piano boards, skids, heavy-duty straps, and ramps designed specifically for piano transport.
- Climate-Controlled Transport: Temperature and humidity swings can warp a piano's soundboard. Our trucks maintain stable conditions during transit.
- Setup at Destination: We reassemble, position the piano exactly where you want it, and remove all packing materials.
