Piano Movers in Phoenix, AZ

We move pianos most weeks. Roughly 40% are uprights (from older Phoenix homes and rentals), 50% are baby grands (Scottsdale and Paradise Valley luxury market), and 10% are full grands and concert grands (church relocations, recital halls, the occasional Anthem estate).

Uprights ride upright — never on their backs, never on their sides — strapped to a piano dolly with a board. Two-man crew minimum, four-man if it's going up or down stairs. Phoenix in-metro upright move runs flat $425. Baby grands get the legs and pedals removed, the lyre and pedal mechanism padded separately, and the body strapped to a piano skid. Four-man crew always. In-metro flat $650 for baby grand, $850 for a full grand.

Heat matters with pianos. Wood expands and contracts with humidity and temperature swings. Phoenix swings from 30°F winter mornings to 115°F summer afternoons in the same calendar year. We won't load a piano into a 130°F truck and let it sit there for an hour — for summer moves, the truck is parked in shade, the piano loads first into the cool-side, and we run the trip directly. For long-distance summer routes we use insulated truck quilts.

We don't tune or recommend tuning. After a move, the piano needs 2-4 weeks to acclimate to its new room before tuning makes sense. We can recommend Phoenix piano techs we've worked with — Greg at Mesa Piano Service has done re-tunes for our customers for years.
