Moving a piano is not just about strength—it’s about precision, care, and experience. Whether you own an upright, baby grand, or digital piano, relocating it requires a mover with the right tools, training, and insurance coverage.
At MoveHub, we’ve supported homeowners, schools, music studios, and even concert venues across Singapore by matching them with piano movers who understand both the value and vulnerability of each instrument.
Pianos are complex, heavy, and highly sensitive to vibration and impact. The average upright piano weighs over 150kg, and grand pianos can exceed 500kg. One wrong move can damage not only your piano but also your walls, flooring—or your back.
Risks of Improper Handling:
Custom trolleys, skid boards, padding, and tail-lift trucks
Experienced handlers trained in piano pivot points and balance
Goods-in-transit and public liability insurance
Optional post-move piano tuning referrals
