Reliable Movers is trusted by families, musicians, and businesses across Syracuse and Central New York for safe, professional piano moving. Whether you’re relocating an upright piano across town or a baby grand across the state, we handle every move with precision and care.
Pianos are among the heaviest, most delicate, and most sentimental items in any home. They require specialized handling — not just to avoid damage to the instrument, but to protect floors, staircases, and walls along the way.
That’s why we bring the right crew, equipment, and plan to every piano move. We’ve been doing this for over 27 years and average more than 200 piano moves each year.
Our movers are trained to safely move a variety of instruments, including:
Upright pianos
Baby grand and full grand pianos
Electric and digital pianos
Antique, player, and heirloom models
Whether it’s being moved from a basement, tight hallway, or up multiple flights of stairs, we’ve seen it all — and we know how to handle it.
We don’t cut corners, and we don’t charge by the hour. When you hire us, you get:
Flat-rate pricing with no surprise fees
Licensed and insured transport
Specialized equipment for heavy or fragile moves
A friendly, experienced crew who respects your space
We take pride in treating every piano like it’s our own — carefully wrapped, strapped, and secured for safe transport.
