Brooklyn-based piano specialists
A piano deserves more than an ordinary moving company
Pianoland has specialized in professional piano transportation since 2000. From our Brooklyn base, we move pianos throughout Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, Long Island and the surrounding Tri-State Area.
A piano is heavy, delicate and often irreplaceable. Its internal components, cabinet finish, unusual weight distribution and sentimental value require careful planning and piano-specific equipment.
Our team plans each move around the instrument, the travel distance and the access conditions at both properties. Much of our business has grown through referrals from customers who trusted us with their own pianos.
Professional piano transportation
Experienced with different pianos and difficult access
Every piano move has a different combination of weight, shape, distance, stairs, elevators and access. We prepare the move according to the instrument and the property rather than using a standard furniture-moving method.
Upright Piano Moving
Transportation for spinet, console, studio and full-size upright pianos in houses, apartments, schools, studios and commercial spaces.
Grand and Baby Grand Pianos
Careful preparation for larger instruments that may require partial disassembly, additional protection and a specialized piano board.
Stairs and Tight Access
Moving through narrow entrances, apartment hallways, basements, staircases, tight turns and other challenging property conditions.
Long-Distance Piano Moving
Regional and interstate piano transportation from New York City to destinations throughout the United States.

Frequently asked questions
What to know before scheduling a piano move
How much does it cost to move a piano in NYC?
Upright piano moves start from $350. The final price depends on the piano type, travel distance, stairs, elevator access, tight turns and conditions at the pickup and delivery properties.
Why should I hire a specialized piano mover?
Pianos are heavy, unusually shaped and contain delicate internal components. Specialized movers use equipment and handling methods designed to reduce risk to both the instrument and the property.
Are there hidden charges after I receive a quote?
Pianoland confirms the agreed moving cost in writing before accepting the order. All stairs, elevators, distance and access conditions should be disclosed so the quote can be prepared accurately.
What equipment do you use to move a piano?
Depending on the move, our team may use protective covers, blankets, lifting straps, moving carts, piano boards, ramps and vehicles equipped to secure the instrument.
How should I prepare before the movers arrive?
Remove personal items from the piano, clear the moving route, reserve the elevator when required and decide where the piano will be placed at the destination. Tell us about narrow doors, stairs and tight turns in advance.

Yes. In addition to New York City and the surrounding Tri-State Area, Pianoland provides regional and interstate piano transportation. Contact us with both ZIP codes for availability and pricing.
