Professional Piano Moving Services in Miami & Naples, FL
At All Star Van Lines, we understand that a piano is more than just furniture — it's a finely tuned instrument, a family heirloom, and often, a lifelong investment. Moving such a delicate and complex item requires more than strength. It takes a unique combination of expertise, experience, and equipment — and that’s exactly what we deliver.
A Different Kind of Moving Experience
Moving a piano isn’t like moving a couch or a bed. These instruments contain thousands of individual parts — some as delicate as a feather, others as heavy as steel. The soundboard, strings, hammers, and intricate internal components must all remain in perfect alignment. And when you add in the weight (anywhere from 300 to over 1,000 pounds), it’s easy to see why hiring a standard moving crew simply won’t cut it.
At All Star Van Lines, we treat every piano move as a white-glove service. From the initial consultation to the final placement in your new space, we approach each step with precision, caution, and care. We don’t rush. We don’t guess. We move your piano like it’s our own — because we know how much it means to you.
What Makes Piano Moving So Complex?
Pianos are a unique challenge for movers due to their size, weight, shape, and sensitivity. Most pianos are not only large and cumbersome but also incredibly fragile on the inside. One wrong movement can cause internal damage that might not be visible at first — but could cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars to repair.
Here's why piano moving is a specialized service:
-
Irregular Weight Distribution: A piano’s weight is not evenly spread, making it tricky to balance and maneuver.
-
Size Constraints: Fitting a piano through doorways, hallways, stairwells, or elevators can be difficult — and sometimes dangerous without proper planning.
-
Internal Sensitivity: One slip can knock strings out of tune, crack a soundboard, or damage the pedals and keys.
-
Value: Many pianos are priceless heirlooms or high-end investments. A damaged piano may be irreplaceable.
This isn’t just a move — it’s a performance. And we know how to hit every note.

Hoisting Straps and Lift Systems to navigate tricky stairs or tight angles.
-
Protective Flooring and Entry Covers to avoid damage to your home or business during transport.
No shortcuts. No compromises. Every detail is handled with precision.
