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
✅ On-site assessments for stairs, lifts, and entry width
Whether you’re moving from an HDB to a landed home or delivering to a concert hall, precision matters.
