How We Move Pianos in Franklin TN
Pre-Move Assessment
We measure the piano, the doorways, the stairs, and the truck approach. Then we build the plan.
Wrap & Disassemble
Blankets, shrink wrap, custom skid boards. Legs and pedals removed and secured for grands.
Climate-Controlled Transport
Four-point securement, GPS tracked truck, monitored humidity. The soundboard stays stable.
Placement & Reassembly
Exact placement, leg and pedal reassembly. Recommend a local tuner for 2-3 weeks post-move.
A piano is an instrument, not just heavy furniture.
Tuning pins, action mechanisms, soundboards, and hammers all shift under the wrong handling. Here is what professional piano crews bring that even general movers cannot.
Specialized Training
Crews trained on balance points, action lock procedure, and piano center of gravity. Not just heavy lifting.
Proper Equipment
Piano dollies, four-wheel skid boards, lift gates, and ratchet straps designed specifically for instruments.
Damage Prevention
Wood finish, ivory keys, and pedals stay protected. Floor runners protect your hardwood floors too.
Safety First
No injuries from lifting a 400 to 1,200 lb instrument. No back strain, no dropped piano, no scratched banister.
Every piano type, every Franklin home.
From a console upright to a 9-foot Steinway concert grand, we handle every variety with type-specific protocols.
Upright Pianos
Compact but heavy. Navigated through narrow hallways and tight Franklin doorways using shoulder dollies and protective padding.
Baby Grand Pianos
Elegant and delicate. Legs and pedals removed, lid locked, body placed on a custom skid board for safe transport.
Concert Grand Pianos
The heaviest and most complex. Custom rigging, climate controlled transport, and white glove handling from start to finish.
Digital & Console
Smaller but electronically sensitive. Anti-static wrapping, careful loading, and stable transport to protect circuit boards.
Homes, schools, and venues across Franklin TN.
Three very different settings, three different protocols, one consistent standard of care.
For Families
Moving a family piano during a relocation or just redesigning the living room. Hardwood protection, careful navigation, and reassembly included.
For Institutions
Music programs, classrooms, recital halls, and chapels. We schedule around class times and provide COIs for facility managers.
For Performances
Recording studios, churches, performance halls, and event spaces. Precise placement, on-time delivery, and post-move tuning coordination.
