    What your estimate includes

    Baby grand and grand piano moving in Los Angeles, Orange and Ventura counties. The instrument’s length, the turns along the route and access at both ends shape the plan.

    The first 10 miles and 3 steps at each end are included. A grand’s final price depends on size, confirmed by photos, along with the route, access and date.

    Include the make and model, or the length from the keyboard end to the far end of the case.

    Unusual instruments and routes outside standard pricing receive a personal quote.

    Prepared in the right order

    The finish is protected with padded blankets. Stretch wrap goes over the blankets, never directly against the finish. The legs and pedal lyre are removed at the appropriate stage, and the piano is secured to a padded skid board for transport on a low dolly.

    Leave the legs and lyre attached before the team arrives. Tell us about a loose leg, a delicate finish or a recent repair so these details are part of the plan.

    Discuss the final position and reassembly at delivery when confirming the move. Include any unusual hardware or existing issues in your note.

    Access is more than a doorway width

    A piano may fit through a doorway but still need room to turn on the other side. Photos of the entire path help us review the instrument’s route at both locations.

    • Show the piano in its current room, with space around the legs.
    • Photograph narrow doors, hallway corners and stair landings.
    • Count every step at pickup and delivery separately.
    • For an elevator, provide the door opening and usable cab dimensions.
    • Tell us about reserved loading times, gates or a long carry.

    For a larger grand or access you are unsure about, send the dimensions and photos before assuming an ordinary move will fit.

    A local baby grand or grand move starts at $375 under the included mileage and stair conditions. See the price guide for mileage, steps and same-property adjustments.

    Moving between Southern California and the Bay Area uses separate route pricing: $1,795 for a baby grand or grand under the published route schedule. Read the LA–San Francisco planning guide and have the instrument and access confirmed.

    Your questions, answered

    Should I remove the legs before the move?

    No. Leave the legs and pedal lyre attached. Removing them at the right stage is part of preparing the instrument for transport.

    What if I do not know whether it is a baby grand or grand?

    Add the make and model, a full photo and the instrument’s length to your request. These help identify the piano and confirm the quote.

    Is $375 a fixed price for every grand?

    No. It is the local starting price, including 10 miles and 3 steps at each end. A grand’s size is confirmed by photos, and distance, access and the selected date affect the quote.
