Pianos are heavy, top-heavy and easy to damage. A safe move starts with the instrument type and an honest look at the route out of the room.

The route is the job
- Stairs, tight turns, door widths and the ground outside decide how a piano moves. Photos of the route help most.
- The estimate reflects the instrument, the stairs and the route at both addresses.
Humidity and tuning
- Sarasota humidity and the move itself can put a piano out of tune. Book a tuner a couple of weeks after delivery.
- The piano is padded and strapped, and a grand has its legs and lyre removed for transport.
Decide the spot first
- Choose where the piano goes before move day, away from direct sun and air conditioning vents if you can.
- The piano is placed in the chosen spot and a grand is reassembled on its legs.

FAQ
Sarasota Moving FAQs: We Have Answers
Upright pianos vary significantly in weight depending on their age and size. Spinet and console uprights, the most common type found in Sarasota homes, typically weigh between 300 and 500 pounds. Studio uprights weigh 400–600 pounds, while large professional uprights can reach 700–900 pounds. Sarasota's older homes, particularly those built in the mid-20th century, often have smaller doorways that require careful angle-maneuvering to get an upright piano through. The humidity and climate can also cause wooden piano components to swell slightly over time, making older pianos in Florida homes occasionally more difficult to move than expected. This is why professional piano movers with the right equipment are essential.
