FAQ's About Piano Moving

Jorne personally handles or oversees every job, using specialized equipment like heavy-duty piano dollies, protective blankets/padding, secure straps and professional transport to prevent any damage to your instrument’s finish, internals or tuning. Your piano is treated with the utmost care from pickup to delivery. At The Piano Viking, we got you covered.

Yes, we are fully insured for your peace of mind. The Piano Viking carries $50,000 in comprehensive coverage for every piano move we handle. This means your piano is protected up to its full value on the day of the move (up to the $50,000 limit).

If your piano is valued higher than $50,000 such as a rare grand, vintage Steinway or high-end custom instrument, we can arrange additional insurance to provide full coverage for your specific relocation. We’ll handle the process and coordinate the extra policy on your behalf. Any additional premium cost would be your responsibility and is typically very reasonable for the added protection.

We move all types including:

• Concert grands and full-size grands (even those worth hundreds of thousands)
• Baby grands
• Uprights including studio, console and spinet models
• Antique and heirloom pianos
• Church and/or cathedral organs

Whether it’s a high-end concert instrument, a vintage family heirloom, or anything in between, we handle it with the same expert care and specialized equipment to ensure it arrives safely and in perfect condition.
