Baby grand is still a grand

Baby grand describes a smaller grand piano, not a separate construction family. Grand pianos have horizontal strings and soundboards. Manufacturer naming and dimensions vary, so a model and actual length are more useful than an assumed size cutoff.

Components deserve a plan

The bench, legs and pedal assembly are part of the planning conversation. Any required disassembly should be handled by qualified piano movers. Do not remove grand legs or the pedal assembly yourself to make a route appear easier.

Larger instruments need explicit review

Concert, square and unusually large grands need a specific capability review. Overall dimensions, model information and access photographs help determine the next step. A general weight or standard clearance figure is not confirmation that the route can be accepted.

Access at both ends

A route is more than its distance. Mention outside steps, stair flights, landings, tight turns, narrow doors, elevators and the distance from parking to the instrument. Photos can clarify the situation, but a difficult route still needs an individual assessment before a move is confirmed.

A useful quote starts with useful details

Provide the piano type, manufacturer and model if known, pickup and destination cities, and access at both properties. For an acoustic grand, share its length. For a vertical or cabinet digital, share cabinet dimensions if available. If identification is uncertain, describe it rather than guessing its weight.

Prepare information, not the mechanics

Remove loose belongings from the instrument and identify its intended destination placement. Mention the bench and any accessories. Do not lift, tip, strap or remove instrument parts yourself. Leave any necessary disassembly and reassembly to qualified professionals using an approach appropriate to the model and route.

Utah at both ends

This website accepts piano move requests in Salt Lake, Utah and Davis counties. Both pickup and destination states are Utah. Exact route, instrument and access suitability are reviewed individually; a request does not confirm a booking or a particular handling method.

Questions worth asking

Know more.
Assume less.

What if I do not know the piano type?

Share the manufacturer, model and a description or photograph if available. Do not open the cabinet, guess a weight or remove parts to identify it.

Can a piano be moved on stairs?

Stairs require an individual assessment. Describe steps, flights, turns, landings and access at both ends before a move is confirmed.

Does a request confirm a booking?

No. A request begins a discussion of the instrument, route, access and timing. The scope and booking are confirmed separately.

A good move starts with a good plan
