Our expert crews are well-versed in the finer points of piano moving. Whether you have a small upright piano or a full size concert grand piano, Elephant Moving’s experienced professional piano movers know just how to take care of your instrument. Whether you need your piano moved within your house, to the other side of a concert hall, up or down stairs, across town or across the country, Elephant Moving can meet your piano moving needs. Elephant Moving has all the equipment needed to move any size or type of piano, and our highly trained piano movers know precisely how to disassemble, pad/wrap, lift, manuever and transport every kind of piano from upright to baby grand to full grand pianos.

Check out some shots of one of our baby grand piano moves. First the crew takes off the legs. Once the legs have been removed the crew wraps the piano body, first in soft fabric pads and/or foam to preserve the high gloss finish, then in heavy duty moving pads to add an extra layer of padding. The fully padded and wrapped piano is then strapped to a piano board and carefully maneuvered outside and into the truck, where it is strapped securely to the side of the truck. A short drive across town and the piano is carefully unloaded, unwrapped and reassembled!

The liability coverage that movers offer isn’t actual insurance. It is cargo vaulation coverage, and the basic coverage carried by all licensed moving companies in Texas only pays you 60 cents ($.60) per pound for any item that is damaged or broken. So even though your Waterford goblet is worth $80, if you were to make a claim for it, you’d get less than a buck because it’s lightweight. It is extremely important to be aware of this when you are moving. If you would like full replacement value insurance for any or all of the items in your shipment you must purchase this coverage from www.movinginsurance.com at least 3 days prior to your move in order to be covered. If no additional insurance is obtained, your items are covered at 60 cents per pound and only 60 cents per pound!
Please be advised: your premises are separate from the goods we transport and are not covered by the cargo valuation. Elephant Moving’s liability is limited to $50.00 for damage to floors, walls, doors, and painted surfaces.
