Austin TX Piano Movers
Transporting any kind of piano, whether an upright or a concert grand, is no simple task. Moving a piano from one location to the next requires ample planning, plus know-how, equipment, and plenty of hands to assist. These oversized, awkwardly shaped instruments are not only heavy, but have delicate pieces that require careful handling. While you can move a piano on your own, most people find that this is a task best left to professionals.

In addition to performing residential and commercial moves of all sizes and distances, we also specialize in piano moving services.

Piano Moving Services in Texas
You might just need a piano moved from one room to another, or you might require transport of your piano to another state. Whatever your needs, we offer the piano moving services to accommodate:
Disassembly
Moving a baby grand, grand, or concert piano often entails disassembling the instrument first. With a larger piano, this step is essential to ensure it fits through doorways and onto the moving truck. Disassembly also reduces the chance of injury to movers or damage to the property by making the piano more manageable to load and transport. Our movers work diligently to remove the legs, music rack, lid, and other detachable components, wrapping each piece with quilted moving blankets or pads. Taking the time to correctly disassemble the instrument ensures its protection during the move.
Local Piano Transport
If you’re planning a local move and need your piano moved from one location to the next, you can count on our assistance. Whether you need help with an in-home piano move or a relocation from one residence to the next, we can do the job. Our team works quickly to get your piano moved across town in just a matter of hours, so it’s reassembled and ready for tuning the same day. We offer local piano transport services for customers in the Austin area, as well as in our other locations across Texas, Missouri, and Virginia.
Cross-Country Piano Moving
Whether you’re moving your entire household long distance, or you’ve found the perfect piano in another state and need help shipping it to your home, Apple Moving can handle your cross country piano move. We are licensed as an interstate mover through the US Department of Transportation and frequently run loads to the East Coast, West Coast, and everywhere in between. We can move just your piano or move it along with the contents of your home, ensuring its safe arrival across the country.
Use of Piano Moving Equipment
Due to the size, weight, and delicate nature of this instrument, having the right tools for the job is essential when it comes to piano moving. Our team comes armed with the necessary equipment to manage every aspect of the move. We use specialized piano tools to disassemble the instrument, then wrap all pieces with moving blankets, securing them in place with movers’ wrap so they stay protected. Our crew also makes use of piano dollies and skid boards to ensure safe transit to and from the moving truck. This equipment also helps protect your floors from scrapes and skid marks. Once the instrument is loaded, we also secure it to prevent shifting while in transit. Our choice in high-quality moving tools keeps your beloved instrument safe and in top condition throughout the move.
Piano Storage
If you’re looking to store your piano during the relocation process, Apple Moving can make the transition from your current home, to storage, to your new home seamless. We have climate-controlled warehouse storage available at each of our locations. Climate-control is critical to safeguard your piano from shifting temperatures. Drastic temperature and humidity fluctuations can warp the wood, keys, or strings. When you store your piano with us, you can rest assured it’s in a clean, safe, and temperature regulated environment. To make piano storage easy, our crew can pick up your instrument and transport it to our secure, monitored storage space. When you’re ready to finish your move, schedule delivery to your next residence.
Piano Reassembly
Just as we work methodically and meticulously to take your piano apart, we also work carefully to reassemble it after delivery. Let us know where you’d like the instrument positioned, and we’ll work to get it rebuilt in the perfect place. Once the reassembly job is complete, you can retune it and enjoy tickling the ivories for years to come.
