If you are still unsure what type of piano you have that is needed for moving, that is fine, one of our staff will work with you to configure which service will work best for you.

Some of the most popular types of pianos include:

Vertical pianos: Vertical pianos are one of the most common in household pianos as they do not take up too much space and still give the traditional piano sound. There are 4 types of vertical pianos:
  • Spinet: The spinet piano is widely the most common piano for it's size and portability and is great for beginning musicians.
  • Console: The console piano is slightly larger than the spinet. These pianos work as a decorative piece as well as giving a full sound that you wouldn't normally get with the spinet piano.
  • Studio: This is the most common piano that you will see in music schools and traditional music classrooms for its dynamic and very appealing sound.
  • Upright: This is the master of all vertical pianos, usually around 60 inches tall and just under 60 inches wide. This vertical piano is extremely durable and maintains it's true tone for years to come.


Horizontal Pianos: Horizontal pianos are most popular when one thinks of an opera house or placed in ballroom setting. They are known as grand pianos for their large composure and unmatched dynamic of sound. These larger pianos need extra care when being moved and come in 6 different styles:
  • Petite Grand: The smallest of the horizontal piano family ranging from 4 x 5 feet in width and length, yet don't be fooled by it's size at is produces powerful sound.
