Expert Piano Moving Services in Tucson

Moving a piano requires precision, expertise, and care. At My Tucson Movers, we specialize in piano moving services tailored to the unique needs of Tucson residents. Whether you own a grand piano or an upright model, our trained Tucson movers have the skills and tools to ensure a smooth relocation.

Our Piano Moving Services

1. Grand Piano Moving

Grand pianos, weighing between 500 and 1,200 pounds, require careful handling. Our team disassembles components such as legs, pedals, and music stands, wrapping each part individually. Upon arrival, the piano is reassembled with precision.

Fun Fact: A standard concert grand piano measures about 9 feet long and has approximately 230 strings, making its safe transport crucial.

2. Upright Piano Relocation

Upright pianos are smaller and more common in homes and schools, but they still require expert care. We securely wrap the piano, protecting delicate keys and surfaces, and ensure it’s stabilized during transit to prevent tipping.

3. Piano Crating Services

For high-value pianos or long-distance moves, we offer custom-built wooden crates. These crates provide an added layer of protection, shielding the instrument from environmental factors such as humidity and temperature changes.

Did You Know? Crating can reduce the risk of damage during long-distance moves by up to 80%.

4. Interstate and Long-Distance Piano Moves

Moving to or from another state? Our long-distance piano moving services ensure your instrument arrives in perfect condition. Popular routes include Tucson to Phoenix and vice versa, with our team managing every aspect of the move, from loading to unloading.

Preparing Your Piano for Moving

Here are some tips to help you prepare your piano for relocation:

  1. Measure Doorways and Hallways: Ensure the piano can pass through without obstruction.
  2. Secure Loose Parts: Lock the lid and secure other movable parts to prevent damage.
  3. Plan for Retuning: Pianos often require retuning after a move due to changes in humidity and positioning.
