Introduction
A piano is one of the most
challenging items to move — and one of the most valuable. Whether you own a
grand piano, an upright piano, or a digital piano, moving it safely requires
specialist knowledge, proper equipment, and experienced handlers. Attempting to
move a piano without the right expertise is one of the most common causes of
serious injury to movers and irreparable damage to the instrument.
At Dial and Move Kenya, we
have developed a specialist piano moving service that combines the right
equipment, the right techniques, and the right team to move your piano safely —
at a price that won't make you wince as much as a wrong note.
Why
Piano Moving Is Different
Weight
Upright pianos typically weigh
between 150–250kg. Baby grand pianos weigh 150–400kg. Concert grand pianos can
weigh up to 600kg. This weight, combined with the piano's awkward shape and
delicate internal mechanisms, makes it one of the most challenging items to
move safely.
Delicacy
A piano contains thousands of
precisely calibrated components — strings, hammers, dampers, keys, and pedals —
that can be damaged by rough handling, excessive vibration, or improper
positioning during transport. Even minor damage can affect the piano's tone and
playability.
Shape
and Size
Pianos are awkwardly shaped and
often don't fit through standard doorways without careful maneuvering. Grand
pianos must be partially dismantled (legs removed, lid secured) for transport.
Upright pianos must be carefully tilted and maneuvered through tight spaces.
Value
A quality piano represents a
significant financial investment — often KES 200,000 to KES 2,000,000 or more.
The cost of damage or loss far exceeds the cost of professional piano moving.

Our
Piano Moving Process
Pre-Move
Assessment
We assess the piano type, weight,
and dimensions, the access at both the current and new locations (doorway
widths, stairways, elevator availability), and the distance of the move. This
assessment allows us to deploy the right team and equipment.
Preparation
For grand pianos, we remove the
legs, pedal lyre, and music desk, and secure the lid. For upright pianos, we
secure the keyboard lid and pedals. All exposed surfaces are wrapped in moving
blankets and stretch wrap.
Moving
We use specialist piano dollies,
skid boards, and straps to move the piano safely. Our team of 3–6 specialists
(depending on the piano size) maneuvers the piano through doorways, down
stairs, and into the truck with precision and care.
Transport
The piano is transported in an
enclosed truck, secured with straps and padding to prevent movement during
transit. We avoid rough roads where possible and drive carefully to minimize
vibration.
Delivery
and Setup
At the destination, we reverse the
process — carefully maneuvering the piano into position, reassembling any
removed components, and placing it exactly where you want it. We recommend
having the piano tuned by a professional tuner after the move.
Case
Study: Grand Piano Move, Karen to Runda
Client: Music teacher
Move: Steinway baby grand piano, Karen to Runda
Date: Wednesday, 11 March 2026
A professional music teacher needed
to move her Steinway baby grand piano — valued at over KES 1.5 million — from
her Karen home to a new studio in Runda. Dial and Move Kenya deployed a
specialist team of 5. The piano was carefully dismantled, wrapped, and
transported in a dedicated enclosed truck. It arrived in perfect condition and
was reassembled exactly as specified. The teacher had it tuned the following
day and reported no change in tone or playability.
"I was terrified about moving
my Steinway. Dial and Move Kenya treated it like the treasure it is. I would
trust them with it again without hesitation." — Music Teacher, Karen
Frequently
Asked Questions: Piano Moving
Q: Do you move all types of pianos?
A: Yes. We move digital pianos, upright pianos, baby grand pianos, and full
grand pianos.
Q: Will moving affect my piano's
tuning?
A: Yes. Any move will affect a piano's tuning due to changes in temperature,
humidity, and vibration. We recommend having your piano tuned by a professional
2–4 weeks after the move.
Q: Can you move a piano up or down
stairs?
A: Yes. We have the equipment and expertise to move pianos on stairs. Stairway
moves attract an additional charge depending on the number of floors.
Q: Is my piano insured during the
move?
A: Yes. We offer goods-in-transit insurance for piano moves. We recommend
declaring the piano's value when booking so we can arrange appropriate
coverage.
Q: How far in advance should I book
a piano move?
A: We recommend booking at least 1–2 weeks in advance for piano moves to ensure
our specialist team is available.
