Moving a piano is one of the most challenging tasks in any relocation.

Professional Piano Moving in Austin, Texas
Pianos are not ordinary furniture. A 9-foot Steinway concert grand can weigh over 1,200 pounds. Even a standard upright piano weighs 400–600 pounds and has a delicate internal mechanism that can be thrown out of tune or structurally damaged by amateur handling. That is why Austin Moving Services maintains a dedicated piano division staffed by movers who have completed specialized training in piano transport.
We serve homeowners, musicians, schools, churches, and performance venues throughout the Austin metro. Common moves include relocations between Hyde Park bungalows, high-rise condos in Downtown Austin, Westlake estates, and performance stages at venues along Red River Street and Sixth Street.
Every piano move includes a pre-move assessment, professional skid board or leg-removal service (for grands), padded blanket wrapping, climate-controlled truck transport, and careful placement at the destination. We handle tuning referrals through our network of certified Austin piano technicians if needed after the move.
