The Best Piano Movers For Your Prized Instruments

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.

Console: Taller than spinets at around three-and-a-half feet tall, but around the same length overall.

Studio: Upwards of four feet tall, the additional height alone could easily tack on an additional 100 pounds over spinets.

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.

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.

Semi-Concert/Ballroom: Easily reaching seven-feet long, these are just one step down from the biggest, dare we say grandest of them all, the…

Concert Grand: Moving nine-feet of piano is a seriously demanding and specialized task, and nobody is more qualified to do it than FlatRate.
