Expert piano moving in Dayton, Cincinnati and the surrounding areas, handled with the right padding, equipment and technique.
We quote your piano move up front with clear pricing, so you know the full cost before we arrive and never face surprise charges at the curb.
Our crews are trained specifically for pianos, using skid boards, padding, and rated straps to protect the finish, keys, and internal action on every lift.
We map the route and confirm your window in advance, then show up on schedule so your piano move stays on track from start to finish.
Every piano we move is fully insured, so your instrument is covered from the first lift to its final resting spot in your home.

We move spinets, consoles, and full-size uprights, along with baby grands and concert grands. Uprights usually travel standing on a padded dolly. A grand is handled differently: we take off the legs and pedal lyre, wrap the body, and strap it on its side to a skid board so it can pass through normal doorways. Just tell us the make and size when you ask for a quote.
Yes. Stairs are one of the main reasons people hire piano movers instead of friends. Before we lift anything we measure the stairwell, look at the landings and turns, and decide how many movers and which equipment the climb needs. Tight basement stairs and the narrow porch steps you see on older homes around Dayton and Cincinnati are common jobs for us.
Take everything off the top and out of the bench, including sheet music and photos, and shut the fallboard over the keys if you can. Clear a wide path from the piano to the door, roll up loose rugs, and keep pets and kids out of the way. If there is a spot in the new home where you want it, measure it ahead of time so we can place it on the first try.
Most technicians suggest giving the piano a couple of weeks to settle into the new room first. Changes in temperature and humidity can shift the tuning while the wood adjusts, so tuning it the day after delivery often means tuning it again soon after. Keep the piano away from heating vents and sunny windows, and ask your tuner what timing they recommend for your instrument.
Yes. A lot of our piano jobs are single-item moves, like a family passing down an upright, a church moving a grand across the sanctuary, or a buyer bringing home an instrument from a private sale. We send a crew sized for that one piece, with the right padding and equipment, and we can also move a piano within the same house if you are just changing rooms.
