Careful Piano Moves, Upright or Grand

A piano is heavy, top-heavy, and full of parts that do not like sudden bumps. That is why Abe Lincoln Movers plans every piano move around the instrument: the right number of movers, a piano board or dolly, thick pads on every surface, and a path measured before move day. Our crews have moved pianos for more than 20 years, from spinets in walk-up apartments to grands in family homes. For moves anywhere in the city, see our main page for Denver movers.

Your piano can move on its own or as part of a residential move. Moving an upright to a new home in Cherry Creek or a baby grand across the metro, the planner below shows what your move will take.

Why Customers Trust Us With Their Pianos

The Right Equipment

Our piano crews use piano boards, heavy-duty straps, and padded dollies to keep the instrument steady from the room to the truck. A piano is a very different job from a standard labor only load. If your piano is leaving the state, our long distance moving team plans the trip and the strapping in the truck.

Protected Finishes

Gloss lacquer and wood finishes are wrapped in thick pads before the piano leaves the room, so doorways and walls never touch the case. Our packing solutions team takes the same care with china and antiques. Once your piano has settled into its new room for a few weeks, have it tuned by a member of the Piano Technicians Guild.

Stairs and Tight Spaces

From narrow staircases in Capitol Hill to elevator buildings in the Central Business District, we measure the route and plan the crew before move day. Pianos for venues and offices move with our commercial moving team, and other heavy heirlooms going to places like Centennial go with our specialty moving crew.
