A plan for the instrument

What makes this move different?

An upright piano looks compact, but its cast-iron plate and soundboard place substantial weight inside a tall, narrow cabinet. That combination makes balance, stairs, tight turns, and floor protection especially important. Razorback asks for the model, approximate dimensions, and photos of the route so the crew can select appropriate equipment and staffing.

We plan the path from the piano’s current position to the truck and from the truck to its destination room. Door widths, stair landings, thresholds, parking distance, and any elevator rules belong in the estimate—not as a surprise on moving day.

What we plan

  • Spinet, console, studio, and professional upright models
  • Stairs, narrow halls, and sharp turns reviewed in advance
  • Padding, securing, and floor protection planned for the route
  • Final room and orientation confirmed before unloading

How to prepare

Send photos of the piano from the front and side, its make and model if known, and photos of stairs, landings, doors, and the truck parking area. Empty and secure the bench, and tell us about loose or damaged parts.

What affects the quote?

An upright quote depends on the piano’s size and weight, stairs at both ends, carry distance, access, travel distance, and whether it is part of a larger move.

Upright Piano Moving FAQs

Can you move an upright piano upstairs?

Often, yes. Share the stair width, step count, landings, turns, and photos so we can evaluate the route and appropriate crew.

Do you move studio and professional uprights?

Yes. These models can be especially heavy, so the make, model, measurements, and access details help us plan.

Will the piano need tuning afterward?

Changes in temperature, humidity, and position can affect tuning. A qualified piano technician can advise on the best time to tune after the instrument settles.
