Specialized Piano Moving for High-Value Instruments

At Allen and Son Moving, we don’t treat pianos like heavy furniture, they’re acoustic sculptures engineered to millimeter precision. Our transport protocols account for weight distribution, humidity drift, and frame torque, especially during vertical lifts and multi-floor navigation. We’ve relocated Steinways from high-rises and Bösendorfers through marble foyers, without microfracture or pitch shift.

Unlike general movers who rely on muscle and moving blankets, we deploy instrument-specific skids, multi-point strapping systems, and low-friction ramps to maintain balance during transitions. Our team is trained in pin block sensitivity, and pedal rod protection, and even understands the acoustic implications of angular vibration during loading.
Clients who’ve come to us after failed relocations report cracked soundboards from temperature swings, worn damper felts due to unpadded storage, and warped lids from improper wrap pressure. We solved all of it, through climate-buffered trucks, elevation-based load recalibration, and on-site tuning stabilization protocols.
Whether it’s grand in a concert hall or a century-old upright passed down generations, we offer zero-risk methodology with real engineering behind every step. When we move your instrument, we don’t guess. We blueprint, calibrate, and execute.

Tuning Tips and Piano Care After the Move

Post-move pitch instability isn’t just expected, it’s a symptom of microclimate shifts, pin block tension loss, and soundboard stress. We offer tailored tuning timelines and controlled acclimation protocols that protect tonal fidelity and preserve mechanical memory across environments.

Everything You Need to Know

We apply zone-specific climate acclimatization using controlled-air transfer cases that neutralize temperature and humidity spikes during transit. Once onsite, our technicians deploy infrared soundboard scans and key action dampening to detect micro-shifts, allowing on-the-spot fine-tuning before each performance block.

Event-Based Piano Logistics for Venues, Schools, and Performance Groups

  • Zero-Decibel Moves: We relocate pianos during rehearsals or performances using silent-floor tech and dampened wheel systems to prevent acoustic interference.
  • Venue-Specific Load Planning: Each venue is pre-surveyed for ramp angles, doorway clearance, stage vibration risk, and flooring fragility.
  • Climate-Stable Storage Prep: For multi-day festivals or recitals, we offer climate-buffered storage that maintains tonal integrity during downtime.
  • On-Demand Setup & Tuning: Technicians are dispatched for stage-side re-tuning, key action checks, and pedal calibration pre- and post-performance.
  • Backline Coordination: We sync with AV crews, choreographers, and conductors to ensure seamless integration with stage direction and cue timing.
