Piano Moving
One of the biggest items to move from home to home is a piano. Asking your family or neighbors to move a large and awkward piano may not be the best idea. Our team at Rocky Mountain Movers & Storage can make the moving of a piano much more of a much smoother process and protect the instrument from different types of damage. We pride ourselves on moving many different piano types that many other companies shy away from. Our team is the premier piano mover in Utah.
In addition to pianos, our team can move a variety of items or furniture across the state or into the surrounding states. Any move, big or small, our movers are prepared to tackle it. We know that every moving day can vary, but it is typically very stressful. Let our team help save you frustration and a longer moving day by investing in moving services.
Utilizing Moving Blankets And Padding
Moving blankets, tarps, and other padding options should be used to protect every corner and edge of your piano. Moving blankets will be wrapped around the piano or furniture and secured with straps to keep them in place.
Our team utilizes protective materials when loading and unloading your piano, moving to a new home, or moving the piano from one room to another. The integrity of your piano and its fragile materials is important to you and our team. Working with a professional moving team will ensure that everything is safe during the chaos of a move.
What If My Piano Needs To Be Moved Into Storage?
Thankfully, our moving team offers moving services, warehouse storage, and connection to a climate-controlled storage unit. If you need to place your piano in storage for any reason, our moving team can easily place it in your preferred storage place. Similar to a move into a new home, we will use the same protective materials and respect when loading a piano into a storage unit. No matter where you are relocating in the state of Utah, we can ensure that it gets into a moving truck and into a storage unit safely.

Frequently Asked Questions
You Have Questions, We Have Answers
Are there specific weight or size limits for “awkward” piano types?
No piano is generally “too big,” but specific details are required for a quote. Rocky Mountain Movers & Storage handles everything from small Spinets (200–300 lbs) to Concert Grands (up to 1,200 lbs). Because different sizes require different crew sizes and specialized equipment (like piano boards or “skids”), you will need to provide:
- The type of piano: (Upright, Baby Grand, etc.)
- Measurements: For uprights, the height; for grands, the length from the keyboard to the back.
- The “Obstacle Course”: The exact number of stairs, tight turns, or narrow hallways at both the pickup and delivery locations.
Does the moving service include insurance coverage for high-value instruments?
Standard “Released Value Protection” is included, but “Full Value Protection” is recommended. * Basic Coverage: By law, movers provide a basic level of liability (usually around $0.60 per pound). For a 500 lb piano, this only covers $300—far less than the cost of a high-end instrument.
- Full Value Protection: For valuable heirlooms or professional-grade pianos, you should request a Full Value Protection plan. This ensures that if the piano is damaged, the company is liable for the cost of repairs or the fair market replacement value. Always confirm the specific deductible and coverage limits with your moving coordinator during the estimate process.
