Piano Movers in Cleveland, TN
A piano is mostly weight sitting on top of a fragile wooden case. Apex Moving Co. moves uprights, spinets, consoles and grand pianos across Cleveland, wrapped and padded, and keeps the instrument balanced from the music room to its new spot.
Pianos Are Top-Heavy and Easy to Scratch
An upright carries most of its weight high up in the cast iron plate, so it wants to tip as soon as one end lifts. The legs on a spinet are thin and snap off if the piano is dragged. Grands are a different problem altogether. The legs and lyre have to come off, and the body travels on its side.
We treat each type differently. The finish gets covered before we touch it, the keyboard lid stays closed, and the piano stays wrapped on the way to the truck.
What Your Piano Move Includes
Case Padding
Moving pads wrap the whole cabinet, pedals and keyboard area included.
Balanced on the Move
An upright's weight sits up high, so we keep it steady through doors and turns.

Piano Moves in Cleveland Homes, Churches and Studios
Pianos turn up in all kinds of places around Cleveland. Older houses near downtown were often built with parlors at the front and steep, narrow stairs leading up, which makes a second-floor upright a careful job. Students around Lee University and its music programs sometimes need a practice piano moved into or out of a rental, and those buildings can mean tight hallways and shared entries.
Farther out in Waterville, McDonald and Charleston, many homes sit on sloped lots with porch steps up to the front door, and we plan for those. If the piano is headed down to Chattanooga, we can move it as one stop.
Piano Moving FAQ
Do you move grand pianos?
Yes. We remove the legs and lyre, wrap the body and put it back together at the new place.
Will my piano need tuning after the move?
Often, yes. Changes in temperature and humidity affect the strings, so many owners have it tuned after it settles in.
Can you take a piano up a flight of stairs?
Yes. Send photos of the stairs, including any turns or landings, so we can plan the move.
Can you move a piano by itself?
Yes. A single piano move is common, whether it is going across town or to a family member.
Should I remove anything from the piano first?
Take off photos, lamps and sheet music. Close and lock the fallboard if it has a key.
Do you move other heavy items on the same trip?
Yes. A gun safe or pool table can go on the same booking as the piano.
