Upright piano moving
Our movers have the experience and techniques to handle your piano with care, whatever the type or model.
Grand piano moving
Requires partial disassembly (legs, pedal lyre, lid) before transport. Each part is wrapped separately. Reassembly at destination is included in our service.
In both cases, our movers are trained specifically for handling musical instruments. They know the fragile points of each piano type and adapt their approach accordingly.

Verified reviews : piano moving service
A huge thank you to Mathis, Raph and Charles who helped us move in December in an exemplary way. Moving a piano while singing — never seen that before! I'd like to personally thank them for making our moving experience fun, filled with music and laughter. They even moved our piano while singing and dancing. My partner and I, even a month later, still talk about that wonderful day with these three young men who impressed us with their courtesy, good spirits and physical strength. Thank you so much — ask for this team, you won't regret it.
Exceptional service! I had a flawless moving day with Jeff, Sam and Raph. Professional, friendly and efficient! Not to forget the supervisor (whose name I forgot) who came specifically for the piano, getting it down my treacherous staircase. What a job, I recommend them 100%!
How DMAX moves your piano
An upright piano weighs between 330 and 620 lbs. A grand piano can exceed 1,100 lbs. Without the right equipment, a single misstep can damage the instrument or injure the movers.
Spiral staircases, narrow hallways, standard 32-inch doorways: our team assesses access constraints ahead of time to plan the safest approach.
A piano's internal mechanism (strings, hammers, soundboard) is sensitive to shocks and vibrations. Our movers adapt their technique to make sure your instrument arrives in perfect condition.
A grand piano must be partially disassembled before transport. This requires precise knowledge of the instrument to avoid any damage to the mechanism or finish.
