We’re the Piano Moving Experts
It takes specialized skills, equipment and training to know how to move a piano safely from one place to the next, and Green Line Moving has perfected the practice. We’ve been trusted with every type, age and size of piano all across the globe, and we always work tirelessly to ensure complete customer satisfaction with every relocation we manage for our clients.
Upright Pianos
Our movers are specifically trained to pad and stretch wrap all pianos or organs, and they are securely placed on a piano board or 4-wheel moving dolly for transportation. Protecting the lyre or removing it if our clients prefer, is part of the process.
There are four major groups of uprights to consider and we’re comfortable transporting each one.
Console: Taller than spinets at around three-and-a-half feet tall, but around the same length overall.
Spinets: The smallest of the lot, these usually measure about 3’ tall and close to 5’ long, and come in at about 200-300 pounds.
Classic Uprights: The big daddies of the upright family, it’s easy to tip the scales at 500 pounds depending on the make and model.
Studio: Upwards of four feet tall, the additional height alone could easily tack on an additional 100 pounds over spinets.
Horizontal/Grand Pianos
We understand pianos are not only expensive and delicate, but they can often times have sentimental memories attached with them. That’s why it’s our number one goal throughout the entire process to keep them protected.
From spinets, uprights, and grand uprights, to baby grands, grands, concert grands, and all other types of organs or pianos – we move them all.
Petite Grand: Don’t let the name fool you, these are still incredibly heavy works of art. At around four-and-a-half feet long, even the Petite Grands won’t fit through most doors without skilled know-how and special equipment.
Baby Grand: One of the most common sizes of pianos we move on a given day, these stand near 5’7” long and can easily weight over 500 pounds. It’s pretty much guaranteed that the legs and pedals will need to be skillfully disassembled before you can attempt to move one of these models any distance.
Parlour Grand: Bigger still, the additional weight of a parlour makes it all the more essential that you hire a crew that can handle the requirements of moving extremely heavy, cumbersome and fragile items. This is not a time when you want to hire a few “cheap movers” off craigslist … trust us.
Concert Grand: Moving nine-feet of piano is a seriously demanding and specialized task, and nobody is more qualified to do it than Green Line Moving.
