Piano Movers Renfrew & Ottawa Valley — Upright & Baby Grand Rigging
Safe, specialized transport for upright, console, and baby grand pianos across Renfrew and the Ottawa Valley. Happy's Moving uses heavy-duty piano boards, four-wheel dollies, stair ramps, and quilted blanket rigging with $2M insurance protection.
Why Pianos Require Professional Moving Specialists
An upright or baby grand piano is not standard furniture — it is a precision acoustic instrument housing a massive cast-iron plate under hundreds of pounds of string tension. Attempting to move a piano with improper dollies or amateur lifting can cause structural pin block cracking, warped soundboards, ruined finishes, and severe injury.
Happy's Moving & Storage brings dedicated piano moving equipment to every job. We secure the keyboard lid, wrap the case in heavy quilted cotton pads, strap the piano to an engineered skid board, and navigate doorways, thresholds, and steps using heavy-duty ramps.
- Engineered piano skids and non-marking four-wheel rubber dollies.
- Padded neoprene and quilted blanket wrapping to protect delicate lacquer finishes.
- Proper pedal lyre and leg disassembly for baby grand and grand pianos.
- $2,000,000 comprehensive cargo and liability insurance for antique instruments.
Heavy Safes and Bulky Specialty Items
Our heavy-rigging capabilities extend beyond musical instruments. We also handle fire safes, commercial file cabinets, and heavy antique heirlooms throughout Renfrew, Pembroke, Arnprior, and surrounding townships.

Piano Movers in Renfrew & Ottawa Valley FAQs
Will moving my piano put it out of tune?
The physical move itself on our padded dollies is gentle, but changes in temperature and humidity between homes naturally affect string tension. We recommend letting the piano settle for 2-3 weeks before scheduling a tuning.
Can you move a piano up or down stairs?
Yes, our crew uses heavy-duty ramps, specialized straps, and balanced team rigging to navigate steps safely.
Do you move baby grand pianos as well as uprights?
Yes. For baby grands, we carefully disassemble the legs and pedal lyre, pad the piano body, and secure it onto a specialized grand skid board.
