Grand piano moving is fundamentally different from upright piano relocation. Every grand piano requires professional disassembly — our trained team carefully removes legs, pedal lyre, lid, and lid hinges before transport. We use specialized piano boards and skid boards to safely lay the piano on its side, protecting the soundboard and internal mechanisms. Each component is wrapped in thick moving blankets and secured with professional straps. Our equipment includes piano dollies, ramps for navigating stairs, and climate-controlled trucks for temperature-sensitive transport. Whether moving through narrow doorways in century homes, coordinating elevator access in high-rise condos, or handling tight corners in Etobicoke townhouses, we have the expertise to move your 600-1,200 lb grand piano safely.
Moving a grand piano requires experience and planning. Which you are right to expect from piano movers in Toronto.
At High Stream Moving, we proactively prevent complications associated with grand pianos moving even if it is cross country piano moving. The grand piano's expensive frame and sensitive mechanics pose a special set of difficulties, from maneuvering through narrow doorways to protecting its delicate strings and hammers during transit. Our specialized equipment, including custom skids and climate-controlled vehicles, ensures that every aspect of the piano’s structure is safeguarded against the rigors of travel.
By entrusting us with your grand piano, you gain not just a moving solution but a commitment to preserving the integrity and soul of your instrument.

When it comes to grand piano moving in Toronto, hiring expert piano movers is very important! It ensures the safe transportation of your valuable instrument any distance, whether it's a local piano move or a long-distance piano move.
Grand pianos are delicate, expensive, and often hold sentimental value, which is why it's crucial to entrust their relocation to professionals.
The basics of transporting a grand piano are not much different from transporting a piano, but there are some.
The main difference is the weight, which can be as much as 1,100 pounds, and the size. Therefore, a minimum of 4 movers are required to move a grand piano, and preferably 5.
The movers must have a false leg with them, which is used to move the piano.
The use of mobile equipment is mandatory, because the piano absolutely cannot be dragged.
To pass through doorways it may be necessary to put the piano on its side and move it only on a special trolley.
The truck for moving should be of appropriate size and the walls of the truck should be padded with a material that reduces vibration during movement.
For shipping, we will remove the legs from the piano and pack them. We will wrap the tongue of the keys to protect them.
The piano case will first be wrapped with a film to protect it from dust, handprints and minor scratches. Wrap the second layer in a transport blanket.
For protection during travelling we will use transporter trolleys where possible.
We will also fix it in the lorry for safety and keep a low speed limit for smooth passage of potholes, obstacles, sharp turns and during braking.
