Quick answer

Piano moving is a specialty part of a regular move: the same licensed crew that moves your home handles the piano with padding, a piano or skid board, and heavy-duty straps, and plans the route through doorways and stairs before move day. LIOO moves uprights and grand pianos across metro Atlanta at an hourly rate, with each piano assessed in advance for size and access.

Pianos we move

Upright & spinet pianos — the most common household move; padded, strapped, and dollied.
Baby grand & grand pianos — legs and pedal lyre are removed and wrapped separately; the body travels on its side on a padded skid board.
Digital pianos & keyboards — lighter, but still protected against drops and screen or key damage.
Console organs and similar heavy instruments — handled with the same care and assessment.

Pianos are also part of our broader furniture moving work, so a piano can move with the rest of your household in a single job.

How we protect your piano

Assess first. We confirm the piano type, weight, and the path — doorways, tight turns, stairs, and the truck approach — before the crew arrives, so the right equipment and crew size are on the job.
Pad and secure. The piano is wrapped in moving pads; a grand's legs and lyre come off and are wrapped separately; the body is strapped to a piano/skid board.
Move as a team. Crews of the right size lift and roll on heavy-duty dollies, taking stairs and thresholds deliberately — never dragged, never rushed.
Place and reassemble. We set the piano where you want it and reassemble a grand. We recommend having it professionally tuned a couple of weeks after any move, once it settles.

Same-day piano moves usually can't be arranged on no notice — specialty items need planning. Book ahead so we can assess and staff it correctly.

What piano moving costs in Atlanta

Piano moving is billed at LIOO's all-inclusive hourly rate — from $160/hour — — crew, truck, pads, boards, and straps included, on the actual time worked, with a 2.5-hour minimum. What moves the price is the piano and the access, not a flat "piano fee":

Type and weight — an upright is a two- to three-person job; a grand needs more crew and equipment.
Access — stairs, tight doorways, long carries, and elevator or freight-elevator logistics add time.
Distance — mostly relevant when the move crosses I-285 or goes long-distance.

You get the hourly rate and an honest time estimate before you book — see the Atlanta moving cost guide. Every piano is covered by released valuation at $0.60/lb, with full-value protection available.

Piano moving FAQ

Can you move a grand piano down (or up) stairs?+

Usually yes, with the right crew size and equipment — the legs and lyre come off, the body is boarded and strapped, and the crew takes the stairs deliberately. We assess the staircase and doorways in advance so we bring enough people and the right gear.

Do I need to prepare the piano before you arrive?+

Close and lock the keyboard lid if it locks, and clear the path. Leave the disassembly to us — removing and wrapping a grand's legs and pedal lyre is part of the job.

How much does it cost to move a piano?+

It is billed at our hourly rate on actual time worked, with a 2.5-hour minimum. The main factors are the piano type and weight and the access at both ends (stairs, doorways, elevators). We give you the rate and a time estimate before you book.

Will my piano need tuning after the move?+

Most pianos benefit from a tuning a couple of weeks after a move, once they have settled in the new space and humidity. We move and place the piano; tuning is handled by a piano technician.

Can you move the piano with the rest of my furniture?+

Yes. A piano can move as part of a full household or apartment move in a single job — just flag it when you request your quote so we plan the crew and equipment.

Move your piano the careful way.

Tell us the piano and the access at both ends — we'll assess it, quote the hourly rate, and bring the right crew and equipment.
