Upright and grand
On the road
Piano transport Europe-wide: how your instrument travels
A piano is one of the heaviest things in a home. An upright piano weighs several hundred kilograms and a grand piano often more, and much of that weight is the cast iron plate that holds the strings. With piano transport Europe-wide the road can lead through several countries, so that weight has to stay exactly where it is, and the packing is planned for the whole journey, not just for the stairs.
An upright piano travels standing, wrapped, padded and strapped in place. A grand piano is usually moved on its side: the legs and the pedal lyre come off, and the body rests on a padded piano board. This is the standard way to move a grand, and every removed part is wrapped separately and travels with the piano. You can read more on our page about grand piano transport.
Borders matter as well. Inside the European Union a piano moves without customs formalities, but piano transport Europe-wide also includes routes to Switzerland or Great Britain, and these need customs documents. For a move to Britain, the UK government explains the rules in its guide to moving personal belongings to the UK. We prepare the papers and tell you in our offer what we need from you.
