Specialist piano removals
Pianos aren't furniture. We move uprights, grands, baby grands, pianolas and organs across West Yorkshire and the UK (room to room, house to house or across the country) with the right kit on every van.

The piano movers Yorkshire tuners recommend
Moving a piano is a specialist job, not a job for four strong people and a Transit. A finely tuned instrument needs delicate handling, the right equipment and people who move pianos week in, week out. That's us: a Huddersfield family firm since 1977, trusted by households, schools, churches, universities, town halls and local authorities across the region, and recommended by virtually all the local piano tuners for a safe, courteous move.
Our vans carry proper piano equipment as standard (grand piano slippers and skids, aluminium ramps, protective coverings, lifting belts and trolleys) so we can handle the awkward reality of real houses. That tight turn everyone says a piano 'will never go through'? In almost all cases it does, with little fuss. Most pianos, even the larger German grands, will go around a 45-degree corner, and the same instrument can go up or down stairs, through doorways, around obstacles and even over a wall when that's what it takes. During an average week one of our units can move up to 30 pianos safely and legally.
We move every kind of instrument: upright pianos, grand and baby grand pianos, digital pianos, pianolas, electric grands, clavinovas and organs. Every move is fully insured, and because piano work sits alongside our house removals, disposal and storage, we can move an instrument on its own or as part of a bigger move, whatever's easiest for you.
From back-bedroom upright to concert grand
No two piano moves are the same, and most can be quoted over the phone or through the quote chat once we know the type of piano, the access at both ends, and where it's going. If the job is more involved (a grand coming down a flight of stone steps, or an instrument leaving through a window) tell us and we'll plan the lift properly before the day.
We were booked to move 18 grand and upright pianos upstairs into Huddersfield Town Hall for the world premiere of Christian Marclay's Investigations. It's the kind of job that shows what a specialist crew and the right equipment can do, and we bring exactly the same care to a single upright in a terraced house.
Across the UK
We can offer the best prices across West Yorkshire but move pianos anywhere in the country.

An everyday upright coming out through a standard doorway, the bread and butter of what we move.
Every piano, not just the grand ones
For all the concert grands and town-hall jobs, most of what we move is the ordinary family upright, the one that's been against the same wall for thirty years and now needs to get to a new house, a school hall, a tuner, or a skip. Old overstrung and straight-strung uprights, heavy Victorian models, school and church pianos: they're what our crews handle almost every day.
The skill is the same whatever the instrument is worth. On skates and with the right technique, two of us can walk an upright out through a standard doorway and down to the van without marking your walls or floors, exactly as in the photo. You don't have to move it, clear the room, or apologise for the state it's in.

Piano removals: your questions
What types of piano do you move?
Uprights, grand and baby grand pianos, digital pianos, pianolas, electric grands, clavinovas and organs, and virtually any heavy musical instrument.
My doorway is tight. Will the piano go through?
Almost always. Most pianos, even large German grands, will go around a 45-degree corner, and we can take the same instrument up or down stairs, through doors, around obstacles and even over a wall where needed. Tell us about the access and we'll plan it.
Do you move pianos upstairs or over walls?
Yes. With grand slippers, skids, ramps, lifting belts and trained crews, awkward lifts are our speciality, including window exits and stairs.
How far do you travel?
We offer our best prices across West Yorkshire (Huddersfield, Leeds, Bradford, Halifax, Wakefield and the surrounding areas) but we move pianos across the whole of the UK.
Are you insured?
Yes, every piano move is fully insured, and we're registered with the CHAS health & safety scheme.
How do I get a price?
Use the piano quote chat with a few details, or call 01484 538917. Most piano moves can be quoted quickly once we know the piano type and the access at both ends.
