Brandon and Timothy were both extremely kind, professional, and helpful. Instead of potentially hurting myself, friends, and family, moving it ourselves, they came and got a very heavy ping pong table down stairs and around a corner like the pros they are. Would definitely hire their help again. - Grant

They arrived at pickup and destination exactly on time. There was some confusion with pickup times given by the furniture store, and Jamar and Cameron were completely flexible and easy going. The sofa was a bit of a heavy load and the doorway needed to have parts removed to make the delivery more accessible. Jamar was quick to come up with a solution and never seemed stressed. - Roger

Best. Experience. Ever. Ryan is hands down the best helper mover I’ve ever interacted with. Super efficient!! We had at least 15 pieces of heavy suitcases/boxes/bags and 2 small furniture, and completed the entire move-out and move-in process within 40 minutes! Also, Ryan is such a nice person!! Always thinking about how to get the work done in the shortest amount of time possible and being really strategic (haha) about taking what pieces first and etc… also so patient and understanding and easy-going. Best experience ever! This is my first time and definitely not the last time using Lugg! And best of luck to Ryan! Thanks again!! - Em

Piano movers in Philadelphia: what to know before you book

Lugg is an on-demand moving and delivery platform in Philadelphia where you book local movers to carry upright, console, spinet and digital pianos to a new home, up or down a flight of stairs, or home from a seller.

Upright piano movers carry it standing. A full upright can stand up to 60 inches tall, taller than a Van's 4.5 ft cargo area, so book a Pickup, XL or Box for one of those. Lugg movers bring dollies, furniture blankets, stretch wrap and straps to every job.

How much does a piano weigh, and how many Luggs to book?

Lugg's weight limit is 125 lbs per Lugger, so up to 250 lbs on any vehicle that comes with two Luggers. Most acoustic pianos weigh more than that, so book a second Lugg for the same time window and both arrive together for the lift. Use the type of piano to decide:

  • Digital pianos and keyboards run about 80 to 300 lbs, and the lighter ones usually need just one Lugg.
  • Spinet and console pianos run about 200 to 400 lbs, so plan on a second Lugg.
  • Studio and full uprights run about 300 to 500 lbs, so book a second Lugg, and a third for an old full-size upright that's heavier still.

Not sure which you have? The maker's name is usually above the keys, and looking up the model will give you its weight. If it's borderline, someone you know can be there at both ends to help the crew instead.

How much does piano moving cost in Philadelphia?

Piano moving services with Lugg are priced on three things you can see before you book: the truck you pick, the distance between your addresses, and how long the job takes on site. Each Lugg you add for the weight is its own booking with its own estimate, and a long staircase adds time on site.

Moving a piano up or down stairs

Luggers will always make their best attempt on stairs. A narrow or steep staircase adds complexity, though, and may need a second Lugg, so measure the stairwell and every turn before you book. Before they arrive, close and lock the lid so the keys stay covered, and move the bench separately.

Grand and baby grand pianos

Lugg movers can move a baby grand or a grand within the same home, room to room or lifted so a rug can go underneath, as long as it fits through every doorway and turn and enough Luggers are booked for the weight. A grand that's leaving the building is a job for a specialist piano mover, because the legs and lyre come off and the body travels on its side on a piano board.

Free and used pianos from a seller

Free pianos are common on Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace, usually on the condition that you get it out yourself. Ask the seller for photos of the stairs and doorway before you book, so you know which truck and how many Luggs you need. If you're paying for it, settle up with the seller before the crew arrives, since Luggers can't pay on your behalf.

After the move: plan on a tuning

Plan to have the piano tuned two to four weeks after the move, once it has settled into the new room's temperature and humidity. Luggers move the instrument and aren't piano technicians, so tuning and repairs go to a piano technician.

FAQs - Piano moves in Philadelphia, PA

The easiest way to move a piano in Philadelphia without renting a truck is by booking Lugg. We provide movers and a truck on demand — no truck rental, deposits, or driving required. Your Luggers handle all the lifting, transport, and room-of-choice placement.

The standard weight limit is 250 lbs per item for a 2-Lugger booking. Many large items like hot tubs, pool tables, and pianos exceed this — for those, book additional Luggers or have someone available to help, for safe handling.

Yes, Lugg can pick up and deliver from big-box stores like Home Depot and HomeGoods, local shops, and from online marketplace sellers on platforms such as Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist in Philadelphia.

At the destination, your Luggers will deliver your piano to your room of choice and place it right where you want it.

Yes, the standard weight limit is 125 lbs per item per Lugger. Many large items like hot tubs, pool tables, and pianos exceed this, and for those, we recommend booking multiple crews, or having someone available to help the crew.

Yes, with Lugg you can book true on-demand piano moves in Philadelphia, with movers arriving within the hour. That means you can have movers pick up and deliver your bulky item the same day you buy it. You can also schedule up to 60 days in advance, perfect for coordinating deliveries.

Lugg prices every booking as a base fare for the vehicle you pick, a per-mile rate for the distance between your stops, and labor billed by the minute with no hourly minimum. You'll see your upfront estimate before you book, including a small variable booking fee, and rates vary by city.

The vehicle you pick sets most of the price, so a single piece of furniture in a Lite or Pickup costs much less than a full apartment in a Box. Routes over 30 miles add a long-distance fee, which is already in your estimate, and a Movers only job has no mileage at all.

Yes, you are responsible for securing safe and legal parking for your piano move. If a permit is required at your location in Philadelphia, please arrange it in advance. If safe parking isn't available, your Lugg may need to be canceled and your move rescheduled. Please note that wait time is billable.

Yes, every Lugg booking includes room-of-choice placement for your piano move. Just let your Luggers know where you'd like your item(s) placed. Please note that we do not provide mounting or installation services.

Make sure there's a clear 3–4 ft path, measure any tight spaces, protect floors, and secure pets. If your building requires it, reserve elevators or loading docks ahead of time. Keep your phone nearby so you don't miss live updates or crew messages during your move.

We always recommend inspecting your piano upon arrival. In the rare event that damage occurs to your item(s) or your property in Philadelphia, our Support Team will promptly review the issue, coordinate any necessary repairs or replacements, and work with you to make things right.

To file a damage claim, get in touch through our contact page or use live chat. We'll guide you through the next steps and may ask you to hold the item while we review and resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
