About Our Grand Piano Moving Service
Moving a grand piano requires specialist knowledge, purpose-built equipment, and years of hands-on experience. At A1 Piano Removals, we have been carefully moving baby grands, boudoir grands, and full-size concert grands across Gloucestershire and the wider UK for over 33 years.
Every grand piano move is handled by our trained two or three-person team using hydraulic piano trolleys, protective quilted covers, and air-ride suspension vehicles. Whether your grand piano needs to navigate tight hallways, flights of stairs, or travel hundreds of miles, we ensure it arrives safely and in perfect tune-ready condition — fully insured with up to £100,000 cover.
All Types of Grand Pianos
We move all types of grand pianos with specialist equipment and techniques tailored to each piano size and weight, including professional disassembly and reassembly.
Baby Grand Piano
Most popular grand piano size for homes. Elegant curved design with excellent sound projection. Perfect for living rooms and smaller music rooms.
Parlour/Boudoir Grand Piano
Traditional British mid-size grand offering superior tonal range. Ideal for serious amateur pianists and teaching studios. Enhanced bass response and string length.
Concert Grand Piano
Professional concert instruments including Steinway, Bösendorfer, and Fazioli. Maximum string length for unparalleled sound quality and projection.
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.
