Scarsdale's Trusted Piano Moving Specialists
Certified Piano Moving Technique
Our crew is trained specifically on piano moving — not general movers asked to handle a piano. Proper board, straps, and stair technique for every instrument type.
Full-Value Coverage — No Depreciation
Your Steinway is covered at replacement value, not $0.60/lb released value. We document pre-move condition and deliver with the same documentation.
Pre-Move Clearance Assessment
We measure doorways, stairwell width, landing clearance, and ceiling height before move day. No surprises on the day — every constraint solved in advance.
Padded Piano Trucks Only
Pianos ride in padded trucks with floor anchors and custom blankets. Never shared with other furniture that could shift during transit.
Hundreds of Westchester Piano Moves
We've moved Steinways, Baldwins, Yamahas, and Kawais across Fox Meadow, Heathcote, and throughout Westchester. We know the common challenges of estate homes.
Tuner Coordination Available
We can connect you with certified piano tuners in Scarsdale and Westchester. Most pianos need tuning 2–4 weeks after a move — we plan around that for you.
Our Piano Moving Process — Scarsdale Homes & Estates
Piano Type & Access Assessment
Tell us: upright or grand, weight estimate if known, origin floor, destination floor, stairwell width, and any tight corners. We quote based on real specs — not a generic piano rate.
Pre-Move Clearance Inspection
For complex moves (grand pianos, basement stairs, narrow hallways), we inspect the route in advance. Confirms equipment needed and eliminates day-of surprises.
Preparation & Disassembly
Upright: padding and strapping on piano board. Grand: remove lid, lyre, and legs — each component padded separately and inventoried. All hardware bagged and labeled.
Load, Transport & Placement
Piano loaded on the truck first, anchored, padded. Transported in a dedicated padded truck. Placed in your designated room, reassembled (grands), condition documented on delivery.

What Scarsdale Piano Owners Say About Our Crew
Steinway Model B grand piano — moved from basement to main floor in our Fox Meadow Colonial. The doorway at the top of the stairs was 34 inches. They measured before the move and arrived with exactly the right equipment. Piano arrived in perfect condition. Tuner confirmed no structural issues.
“My family's 1960s Baldwin upright — sentimental value beyond price. I was nervous giving this to anyone. The crew treated it with complete respect, used a piano board, custom straps, everything. No scratches, no damage. I watched the whole time and was impressed at every step.”
“Baby grand from the living room to a new home in Bronxville. They disassembled the legs and lid professionally, padded every piece, and delivered it to the new room reassembled perfectly. They also warned me it would need tuning — exactly as it did. Honest, expert crew.”
“Moved a Yamaha upright down a tight spiral staircase. I assumed this was impossible without disassembly. Their crew assessed it, told me they'd done similar stairs before, and navigated it in 45 minutes without a single mark on the walls or instrument. Impressive.”
“The crew arrived knowing exactly what a Kawai grand disassembly looks like. No fumbling, no looking up instructions. Professional technique from the first touch. Full-value insurance included without me asking. Everything right about this company.”
“Third piano move I've done with movers and by far the best. Previous companies scratched the soundboard and nicked the legs. This crew wrapped every component, inventoried the hardware, and delivered without a mark. Worth the price for the peace of mind alone.”
