Moving a piano is not like moving any other piece of furniture. These majestic instruments are heavy, fragile, and often have deep sentimental or monetary value. Whether you’re relocating your piano across the street or across the city, you need a professional team that understands the intricacies involved. That’s where Ottawa Piano Moving Specialist, your top-rated Ottawa piano mover, comes in.
Professional Ottawa Piano Mover?
Pianos are delicate, intricate instruments that can weigh anywhere from 300 to over 1,000 pounds. Their internal components — such as strings, hammers, pedals, and keys — require careful handling and absolute precision to avoid damage. Ordinary movers may lack the training and equipment to transport pianos safely, leading to costly repairs or even irreversible damage.
Hiring a dedicated piano moving service like Ottawa Piano Moving Specialist means you get:
- Specialized equipment like piano skids, straps, and padded wraps
- Trained professionals with years of experience in piano handling
- Fully insured services to protect your valuable instrument
- Safe loading, transportation, and unloading at your new destination

Types of Pianos We Move
Not all pianos are created equal — each type presents unique challenges. Fortunately, Ottawa Piano Moving Specialist has the expertise and tools to move a wide range of piano types:
- Upright Pianos: Compact and tall, these are popular in homes and schools. They still require careful vertical lifting and strapping.
- Baby Grand Pianos: With longer bodies and curved shapes, these require partial disassembly before moving.
- Grand Pianos: The most challenging due to their size and complexity, often weighing over 1,000 pounds.
- Digital Pianos: Though lighter, they still require careful protection from scratches and impacts.
No matter the piano type, our team follows a systematic process to disassemble (if necessary), protect, transport, and reassemble your piano at its new location.

Tips for Preparing Your Piano for a Move
While our team handles all the heavy lifting, there are a few things you can do to help ensure a smooth move:
- Clear Pathways: Remove furniture, rugs, or clutter that may obstruct the moving route.
- Inform About Stairs or Tight Spaces: Let us know in advance about any architectural challenges.
- Secure Small Items: Remove any sheet music, covers, or accessories stored inside or on the piano.
- Tuning Post-Move: It’s normal for a piano to go slightly out of tune after a move. Schedule a professional tuning about 2–3 weeks post-move.
