Piano Moving Services In Charleston, SC

Safe and Professional Piano Moving for Every Type of Piano

Concert Pianos

Concert pianos are the largest and heaviest pianos, often weighing 700 pounds or more. Their size, weight, and delicate internal mechanics make them extremely challenging to move, requiring careful planning and professional expertise. At Two Twigs Moving, we start with a pre-move assessment, measuring doorways, stairways, and hallways to determine the safest route. Multiple movers work together using heavy-duty piano dollies, straps, and floor protection to lift and transport the piano without tilting or damaging it. Each concert piano is carefully wrapped in moving blankets and padding to protect both its finish and intricate components. For long-distance moves, we secure the piano in our vehicles to prevent any shifting during transport. Over the years, our team has successfully moved concert pianos for schools, performance halls, private collectors, and music venues throughout Charleston and surrounding areas, including Huntersville, Matthews, Mint Hill, and Pineville.

Baby Grand Pianos

Baby grand pianos, while smaller than concert pianos, still demand careful handling due to their fragile finish and complex internal mechanics. Moving them often involves navigating stairs, narrow doorways, and tight hallways, which requires strategic planning. Our process includes careful disassembly of detachable parts, such as legs and pedals, to prevent damage during transport. Each piano is then wrapped with padded blankets and corner protectors, and multiple movers lift it using precise techniques to evenly distribute the weight. Transportation is conducted in padded moving vehicles to prevent scratches or bumps. Baby grand piano moves are commonly requested for residential homes, music teachers, and studios in Charleston and nearby towns like Cornelius, Belmont, and Concord.

Grand Pianos

Grand pianos combine elegance and complexity, making their safe relocation a delicate task. To protect the structural integrity and sound quality, our team carefully plans the route inside homes or venues, avoiding walls, stairs, and tight corners. We use special lifting straps and piano skids to safely move the instrument without tilting, while ensuring that the soundboard, hammers, and keys remain unaffected. Floors and surrounding property are protected, particularly in older homes with delicate surfaces. Grand piano relocation is a specialty for residential homes, schools, churches, and event spaces throughout Charleston and the surrounding North Carolina region.

Upright Pianos

Upright pianos are smaller but still heavy and delicate, making their relocation challenging, especially in multi-story buildings. Our trained movers use piano dollies, ramps, and stair-climbing equipment to transport these pianos safely. Floors are protected with padding and mats to avoid scratches, and the piano itself is thoroughly wrapped to prevent dings or damage to the finish. Special attention is given to securing internal components like hammers and pedals during lifting. Upright piano moves are frequently performed for apartments, homes, and offices across Charleston, Gastonia, Pineville, and Mint Hill.

Player Pianos

Player pianos contain intricate mechanical systems that can easily be damaged if not handled correctly. Our team begins by assessing the piano for delicate components and then uses specialized moving straps and padding to prevent jostling during transport. Stairs, narrow doors, and tight corners are navigated carefully to protect both the exterior and internal mechanics. Upon arrival, we ensure the piano is fully functional and ready to play. Over the years, we have safely moved player pianos for private clients, music studios, and educational institutions throughout Charleston and surrounding areas.
