Pittsburgh Piano and Organ Movers: Trained Crews and the Right Equipment!
Pianos are heavy, awkwardly shaped and full of delicate internal parts. Our crews are trained to disassemble, pad and protect each instrument for transport. Stumpf Moving & Storage is the only moving company in Pittsburgh with trucks that are specially designed for the challenges of piano moving. Our piano trucks carry piano boards, walk ramps and piano straps. For more difficult moves, we have a specialized lift gate that stays level on any terrain and can lift a piano of any weight or size. Our movers are also trained in safe lifting so that neither the instrument nor your home, walls and floors are damaged.
Local and Long-Distance Piano Moving
We move pianos across town and across the country. Our fleet of specially designed piano trucks and experienced long-distance crews handle the extra challenges of long-distance piano moves. See our Long-Distance & Nationwide Piano Moving page for details. (https://www.stumpfmovingandstorage.com/long-distance-piano-movers-nationwide-piano-movers.html)
Piano Storage in Pittsburgh
If your piano needs a temporary home during a renovation, sale or move, we store it in our own temperature-controlled Penn Hills warehouse. Most piano movers have to hand your instrument to a separate storage company. Because we have our own storage facility, your piano stays in our care from pickup to delivery. See our Storage & Warehousing page. (https://www.stumpfmovingandstorage.com/pittsburgh-pennsylvania-storage-and-warehousing.html)
