Secure, Damage-Free Transport for Upright Pianos

Moving an upright piano is a task that demands precision, training, and a deep understanding of the instrument’s construction. Unlike other heavy items in a household, upright pianos are complex, fragile, and valuable. Each move must be carefully planned and executed to avoid damage to both the piano and the surrounding property. Whether you're relocating your piano across the room, down the street, or to a new home within Tarrant County or neighboring areas, professional handling is essential.


Noteworthy Piano DFW has proudly served Southlake, Texas, and its surrounding communities for over 16 years, specializing in upright piano moving, tuning, and repair.

Our experienced team uses the appropriate tools, equipment, and techniques to move pianos safely and efficiently. We understand the intricacies of upright pianos, from their weight distribution to their susceptibility to tuning shifts and internal damage.

Our upright piano moving service is ideal for homeowners, music teachers, schools, and performance venues. Each move begins with a comprehensive assessment of the piano's condition, the layout of the property, and any obstacles that could affect the moving process, such as steps, narrow hallways, or delicate flooring.


Pricing starts at $150 for a two-hour upright piano move. Final costs may vary depending on travel distance and factors like stairs or steps to the entryway. Whether you're in Southlake proper or in neighboring cities throughout the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, we’re committed to moving your piano with the care and respect it deserves.

Benefits of Professional Upright Piano Moving

Safe Handling of a Valuable Instrument

Upright pianos often weigh between 300–500 pounds and house delicate components like the soundboard, hammers, and strings. Our trained team ensures safe handling with the right equipment to protect both your instrument and your home during transport across Southlake and surrounding communities.

Prevents Structural and Internal Damage

A poorly executed move can affect your piano’s internal balance, tuning stability, and frame integrity. Our professional service preserves your upright piano's condition by using secure bracing, proper lifting techniques, and custom padding to ensure a smooth, vibration-minimized journey.

Reduces Risk of Injury

Attempting to move a piano without training can lead to serious injuries or accidents. We eliminate this risk by using specialized tools and coordinated techniques that make the job safe for everyone involved, including residents, property managers, or music teachers in the area.

Protects Your Home or Venue

From hardwood floors to narrow staircases, moving a piano without care can damage property. We use door jamb protectors, floor runners, and moving blankets to ensure every surface remains intact, whether you live in a home in Southlake or operate a music studio in the region.

Time-Efficient Moving Service

A DIY piano move can take hours—or even days—to coordinate. Our efficient service is typically completed within two hours, saving you time and minimizing disruption, especially if you’re preparing for a recital, classroom relocation, or home staging.

Insurance and Professional Oversight

All moves conducted by our team are insured and supervised by professionals with years of piano-handling experience. This adds an additional layer of protection and peace of mind, especially when moving valuable upright pianos passed down through generations or used in public performances.
