[ HOW OUR PIANO MOVES WORK ]
Specialist piano relocations across Cambridge and the UK
Pianos punish inexperienced movers. An upright can weigh 250kg, a concert grand over 500kg, and the internal action is one bad jolt away from an expensive tuning bill — or worse. Our Cambridge piano specialists have moved Steinways out of Newnham Victorian terraces, Bösendorfer grands into King's College, upright teaching pianos across the villages and everything in between. Every move starts with an access survey so we bring the right dolly, skid board and crew size before we ever touch the instrument.
Photos or on-site visit of doorways, staircases, parking and access at both addresses so nothing is a surprise on the day.
Padded quilted blankets, corner guards and shrink wrap to protect the case, legs, lyre and pedals in transit.
Skid boards, 4-wheel piano dollies, stair-climbing straps and a climate-stable Luton van with air-ride suspension.
Placed exactly where you want it. We recommend leaving 2–4 weeks before tuning so the piano settles in its new climate.
