6-Step Grand Piano Moving Process
Every grand piano move follows our proven process refined over 33+ years, ensuring your valuable instrument's safety at every stage.
Pre-Move Assessment & Planning
We conduct a thorough evaluation of your grand piano type, dimensions, access routes, stairways, and doorways. Digital photographs help us plan the safest route and identify challenges unique to grand piano moves.
Professional Disassembly
Our team carefully removes the legs, pedal lyre, and music desk. Each component is individually wrapped in thick quilted blankets. The piano lid is secured and all hardware is catalogued and protected.
Specialist Wrapping & Protection
Your grand piano body is wrapped in multiple layers of professional padding. We use custom-fitted grand piano covers, corner protectors, and secure strapping to protect every surface and edge.
Secure Loading & Professional Transport
The piano is carefully loaded onto our air-ride suspension vehicle using professional piano boards and ramps. Professional handling maintains optimal conditions throughout transit.
Expert Reassembly & Positioning
At your destination, we reverse the process with equal care. Legs are reattached, the piano is leveled, pedal lyre connected, and music desk replaced. Positioned exactly where you want it.
Final Inspection & Aftercare Advice
We conduct a thorough final inspection with you, remove all protective materials, and provide essential aftercare advice including acclimatization period (2-3 weeks) and professional tuning recommendations.

Real Reviews from Real Customers
Join hundreds of satisfied grand piano owners who trust A1 Piano Removals for their moves.
Moved our Steinway baby grand from a Victorian townhouse with very narrow stairs. The team disassembled it professionally, navigated the tight corners with impressive skill, and reassembled it perfectly in our new home.
As a concert pianist, my Bösendorfer is my livelihood. A1 treated it with the care and respect it deserves. Professional handling throughout. Highly recommended for valuable instruments.
Our parlour grand needed to go up to a first-floor music room. The team assessed the situation carefully, removed a window frame, and used specialist equipment to lift it safely. Absolutely professional service.
Third time using A1 for piano moves and they never disappoint. This time was a baby grand for our music school. Arrived exactly on schedule, disassembly was meticulous, and reassembly was flawless.
Called several companies and A1 was the only one with specific grand piano expertise. They understood the disassembly requirements and had professional transport. The real deal for grand piano moves.
Outstanding service from start to finish. Liam personally came to assess our concert grand's difficult access situation and explained exactly how they'd handle it. Worth every penny for peace of mind!
