Question 1

How much does it cost to move a piano?

Accepted Answer

The cost to move a piano typically ranges from $150 to $600 for local moves, depending on the type of piano, distance, stairs, and complexity. Long-distance moves may cost more.

At Muscleman Elite, most local piano moves fall between $225 and $500. We provide clear, upfront pricing with no hidden fees and tailor every quote to the details of your move.

Question 2

Can any moving company move a piano?

Accepted Answer

Technically, yes—but most aren’t equipped or trained to do it properly. Moving a piano requires specialized equipment, experience, and technique. Some don’t move them at all.

That’s why many local movers refer their piano jobs to us. We’ve moved thousands of uprights, baby grands, and full-size concert pianos safely and efficiently.

Question 3

Is it safe to move a piano yourself?

Accepted Answer

Pianos are extremely heavy and fragile. Moving one without training or proper tools can cause serious injury or expensive damage to the piano, floors, or walls.

We strongly recommend leaving it to professionals. Our crew shows up with the right team, the right tools, and a clear plan to move your piano safely.

Question 4

How long does it take to move a piano?

Accepted Answer

Most piano moves take 1 to 3 hours, depending on access, type of piano, and distance between locations.

With Muscleman Elite, most upright or baby grand moves are completed in under 2 hours. We move with care, speed, and zero shortcuts.

Question 5

Will moving a piano affect the tuning?

Accepted Answer

Yes, most pianos will need to be tuned after a move. Even small vibrations or a change in humidity can affect the strings and soundboard.

We recommend waiting about two weeks after your move before scheduling a tuning. We’re happy to refer a trusted local piano tuner if needed.

Question 6

Can you move a piano up or down stairs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it requires proper technique, manpower, and equipment. Stairs add significant risk if handled incorrectly.

We specialize in complex moves—upstairs, downstairs, and even balcony hoists when necessary. It’s what we do best.

Question 7

Is piano moving insured?

Accepted Answer

Professional movers should offer both liability and cargo coverage for piano moves.

All piano moves with Muscleman Elite are fully insured, and we offer optional additional coverage up to $100,000 for high-value instruments.

Question 8

How do I prepare my piano for a move?

Accepted Answer

Clear the area around the piano and make sure there’s an accessible path through the home. Avoid trying to move or roll the piano yourself.

Once we’re onsite, we’ll handle the rest—including wrapping, securing, and carefully transporting your instrument.

Question 9

Can a piano be moved long-distance?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it requires planning and careful handling. Long-distance piano moves should be direct and avoid terminals or third-party transfers.

We offer direct service for long-distance moves across Texas and beyond. Your piano stays with our crew the entire way—no transfers, no damage risk.

Question 10

Why should I hire a piano moving specialist?

Accepted Answer

Pianos are valuable, delicate, and often irreplaceable. Hiring a specialist ensures your instrument is handled properly every step of the way.

At Muscleman Elite, piano moving isn’t a side service—it’s a core part of who we are. That’s why we’re trusted by musicians, schools, designers, and families across Central Texas.

Question 11

Can you store my piano temporarily?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but not all storage is created equal. Pianos should never be kept in standard storage units or garages where they can be exposed to extreme temperatures or humidity.

Muscleman Elite offers short- and long-term storage solutions designed specifically for sensitive, high-value items. Your piano stays safe in a climate-controlled environment until you’re ready for delivery.

Question 12

Can you move a piano and other furniture together?

Accepted Answer

Yes, many moving companies can move your piano along with the rest of your household items—but not all have the skill or equipment to do it safely.

At Muscleman Elite, we can absolutely move your piano as part of a full-service residential move. In fact, it’s one of our specialties. Our crews come prepared to handle both the heavy lifting and the delicate touch required to move everything—from sofas and boxes to baby grands—without a scratch.
