Boston Piano Movers

Piano Movers in Boston

Moving a piano is no simple task. As one of the heaviest and most delicate instruments in any home, pianos demand specialized techniques, proper equipment, and experienced hands to prevent costly damage. Whether you’re relocating an upright, baby grand, or concert grand — locally across Boston or long-distance to another state — choosing experienced piano movers is essential.

At Poseidon Moving, we provide comprehensive piano moving services including careful disassembly, protective padding and wrapping, secure loading with specialized equipment, climate-aware transportation, and precise placement at your destination. We offer both hourly and flat-rate pricing, giving you the flexibility to choose a plan that fits your needs and budget.

Piano Moving Services

Every piano move is unique — the type of instrument, the building layout, stairs, doorway widths, and distance all factor into the plan. Our team assesses every detail before move day so there are no surprises. Piano moving services we provide:

✔  Upright piano moving

✔  Baby grand and grand piano moving

✔  Concert and antique piano transport

✔  Disassembly and reassembly (legs, pedals, lid)

✔  Custom crating for long-distance or high-value pianos

✔  Stairway and tight-access moves

✔  Hoisting when stairways or doorways won’t accommodate the instrument

✔  Climate-controlled storage for pianos between moves

Pianos carry enormous monetary and sentimental value. Any company moving your piano should treat it with the same care you do.

At Poseidon Moving, we don’t just move pianos — we protect them at every stage of the journey.

Here’s exactly what to expect when you hire Poseidon Moving to move your piano:

How We Move Your Piano

✔  Pre-move survey: We assess the piano type, weight, dimensions, and your building’s layout — doorways, stairways, elevators, and floor surfaces — to build a detailed move plan.

✔  Preparation and wrapping: The lid is locked, the keys are covered, and the entire instrument is wrapped in quilted blankets and stretch wrap. For grand pianos, legs and pedal assembly are carefully removed and individually padded.

✔  Weight distribution and positioning: We calculate proper weight distribution based on the piano’s size and type, then position it on a piano board or heavy-duty dolly to prevent tilting or drops.

✔  Loading: Using straps, metal ramps, and skid plates, we load the piano into the truck and secure it against padded walls. No other items are placed against the piano during transport.

✔  Secure transportation: The piano is fastened with heavy-duty ratchet straps to prevent any movement during transit. Climate conditions are monitored on long-distance moves.

✔  Unloading and placement: We reverse the process with the same level of care — unloading, unwrapping, reassembling legs and pedals if applicable, and placing the piano exactly where you want it.

✔  Final inspection: We ask you to inspect the piano before we leave. Our job isn’t done until you’re completely satisfied.
