Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an upright piano weigh?
Most upright pianos weigh between 150 kg and 300 kg, depending on their size and construction. Their weight and awkward shape mean they require specialist equipment and experienced movers to transport them safely.
What's the difference between an upright piano and a pianola?
A pianola is a self-playing piano that uses a pneumatic mechanism and paper rolls to play music automatically. While most upright pianos weigh between 150 kg and 300 kg, pianolas are typically 200 kg to 350 kg due to their additional internal mechanisms, requiring extra care during transport.
Can you move a piano upstairs?
We can move pianos over a small number of entry steps, but we don’t move upright pianos or pianolas up or down full flights of stairs. If you’re unsure about your property’s access, send us a few photos and we’ll let you know if we can help.
Can you move a piano within the same home?
Absolutely. Whether you’re moving a piano to another room, another floor or repositioning it within your home, we can safely relocate it without the need for transport.
Do I need to prepare my piano before moving?
No special preparation is usually required. We recommend removing any loose items from the piano and ensuring there is clear access. Our team will take care of protecting and securing the piano for transport.
