Concert Grands you will have to call us on those. Due to weight and height while on a dolly clearance heights need to be verified in advance.
Square grands , 3 to 5 steps only 450.00
Steinway uprights : These are the most dangerous pianos to move in the " world of pianos" Due to having an irregular skid plate bottom they do not sit well on a dolly. We have a dolly we designed ourselves for these but our moving price on them suggests we really don't want anything to do with moving them. 3 to 5 steps max 550.00
Polyester Finishes : Special care must be taken with Polyester ; No shrink wrap, no moves when temps are below 43 degrees. It is easily scratched and when making a purchase of anything with a polyester finish ALWAYS look at it in NATURAL light.
ADDITIONAL CHARGES FOR THE FOLLOWING:
- Stairs - Second floor carries add to the cost of moving because we need to hire additional labor. Charges can be waived if you want to provide the labor yourselves and agree to . Upright Pianos above 42 inches tall are referred to another carrier.
- High gloss clear or black finishes - these require enormous care when moving. We will not move these types of pianos in the winter months. No exceptions.
