🎼 Why Choose A1 Piano Removals for Grand Piano Transportation?

✅ 25+ Years of Piano Moving Expertise

We are not general movers who occasionally move pianos. Grand piano removals are our core specialty. Our team is expertly trained to handle everything from baby grands to concert grands, offering an unrivalled level of knowledge and handling care.

✅ Precision Equipment

Moving a grand piano requires more than manpower. We use hydraulic lifts, stair climbers, padded dollies, ramps, and custom protective coverings to guarantee a safe journey for your instrument—even through tight spaces, spiral staircases, or historic buildings.

✅ Fully Insured and Risk-Free Service

For complete peace of mind, every move we undertake is fully insured. From the moment we pick up your piano to the final placement in its new location, your instrument is protected.

✅ Nationwide Coverage

Though we’re proudly based in Gloucester, we offer grand piano moving services across England, Wales, and Scotland. Whether you’re moving locally within Cheltenham or relocating your piano to London, Manchester, or Edinburgh, we’ve got you covered.

🛠️ Our Grand Piano Moving Process

Step 1: Pre-Move Assessment

Every grand piano move starts with a thorough site assessment. We evaluate:

• Piano size and make

• Stairways, hallways, and door widths

• Floor types and access points

• Parking availability and time restrictions

This enables us to plan the safest, most efficient route from start to finish.

Step 2: Protective Wrapping & Disassembly

We carefully remove the legs, pedals, and lyre, wrapping each element in foam and stretch wrap. The piano body is padded and secured to prevent any movement during transit.

Step 3: Secure Transit

Your grand piano will be transported in a temperature-regulated, air-suspended vehicle, maintaining a stable environment to protect the soundboard and frame from humidity or vibration damage.

Step 4: Placement & Reassembly at Your New Location

Upon arrival, we’ll safely unload your instrument, reassemble it, and place it exactly where you want it—whether it’s on a stage, in a studio, or within a private home.
