Our Long Distance Piano Moving Process in Toronto

Estimation & Coordination

We provide you with an accurate estimate for your long distance piano move, including dates and detailed moving plans.

Piano Dismantling

We carefully dismantle the piano parts: legs, lid, lid hinges and lyre to double-protect them during moving long distance.

Packing & Securing

Each piano part we wrap in bubble materials and moving blankets to protect it from damage and scratches in transit.

Moisture Control

Before loading the instrument, we check the humidity level in the truck. It helps us to control humidity and minimize the risk of condensation.

Loading & Fastening

Our movers load and secure the instrument on a special cart using buckles and straps, and then fasten it in the truck. It's especially needed during long distance piano moving.

Long Distance Moving

Moving the piano to its new destination, whenever it is. Our drivers are very careful on roads and avoid bumpy routes for the safety of the instrument.

Unloading & Installation

Upon arrival, we carefully unload the piano and set it up in the specified location, according to all the customer's wishes.

Final Inspection & Tuning

After the piano is installed, we perform a thorough inspection to make sure there is no damage and that everything is assembled correctly. We also provide the piano tuning service.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does long distance piano moving cost across Canada or to the USA?

Long distance piano moving costs vary based on distance, piano type, and complexity. At High Stream Moving, prices start from $800 for standard upright pianos on provincial routes. Cross-country moves (Toronto to Vancouver, Montreal to Calgary) typically range $2,500-$5,000 depending on piano type. Grand pianos cost more due to disassembly requirements. We include professional dismantling, climate-controlled transport, bubble wrap protection, moving blankets, humidity monitoring, and 1 month free storage. Cross-border moves to the United States include customs documentation assistance. Call (800) 430-1537 for an accurate quote based on your specific piano type, origin, and destination.

How long does a long distance piano move take from Toronto to other provinces or the USA?

Transit times depend on distance and route logistics. Toronto to Montreal takes 1-2 days, Toronto to Vancouver ranges 7-10 days, Toronto to Calgary takes 5-7 days, Ontario to British Columbia takes 7-10 days, and cross-border moves to US cities take 5-7 days depending on customs clearance. Unlike regular cargo, pianos require climate-controlled trucks traveling at controlled speeds with humidity monitoring to prevent damage. We coordinate warehouse storage if your new home isn't ready and provide tracking throughout transport. Weather conditions, elevator reservations at apartment buildings, and customs processing for international moves can affect timelines.

Do you provide climate-controlled transport and why is it important for long distance piano moves?

Yes, climate control is essential for long distance piano moving. Temperature and humidity changes damage piano wood, strings, soundboard, and internal mechanisms. High Stream Moving uses climate-controlled trucks with humidity monitoring for all long distance piano transport across Canada and the USA. We maintain stable conditions from Toronto's cold winters to Vancouver's humid coastal climate, or California's dry heat. Our trucks check humidity levels before loading and throughout transport. We also provide 1 month free climate-controlled warehouse storage — perfect when your new home in British Columbia, Alberta, or the United States isn't ready. Our storage facilities feature temperature sensors and proper ventilation to protect your piano.

Can you move all piano types long distances including grand pianos and baby grands?

Absolutely. High Stream Moving handles all piano types for long distance relocations: upright pianos (studio, console, spinet, full-size), grand pianos (baby grand 5-6 feet, medium grand 6-7 feet, concert grand 7-9 feet), and antique pianos. Each requires specialized handling. Grand pianos need professional disassembly — we remove legs, pedal lyre, lid, and lid hinges for safe transport. Our team uses piano carts, boards, custom padding with bubble materials, moving blankets, buckles and straps for secure fastening in trucks. We've successfully moved Yamaha, Steinway, Kawai, and Baldwin pianos across Canada from Ontario to British Columbia and cross-border to the United States.

How do you protect pianos during long distance moves through stairs, elevators, and tight spaces?

Moving pianos through complex spaces requires expertise and specialized equipment. Our trained team assesses your location before moving day, measuring stairs, doorways, hallways, elevators, and narrow passageways. We use piano carts with protective wheels, thick moving blankets and bubble materials for padding, professional straps and buckles for secure fastening in trucks, and transport blankets for protection during loading. For apartment buildings in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, or other cities, we coordinate elevator reservations in advance. We understand proper angles for lowering pianos down stairs safely. Each grand piano is carefully disassembled — removing legs, lid hinges, and lyre — to navigate through standard doorways. Upon arrival, we perform thorough inspection and offer piano tuning services to restore perfect sound after the long distance move.
