You should know who you're trusting with your piano.

Hi, I'm Chuck Lubbert.

Gilbert Piano Movers operates under Starfleet Moving, the company behind the work. I've been in the moving business for more than 20 years. During that time, I've learned that piano moves deserve their own plan, their own equipment, and a crew that understands what can go wrong before anyone starts lifting.

I've worked with grand and baby grand pianos, uprights, consoles, studio pianos, spinets, and instruments going into homes, schools, churches, studios, and performance spaces. Every piano is different. The route is different too. Stairs, tight turns, delicate floors, long carries, gates, elevators, and final placement can change the entire move.

Gilbert Piano Movers is licensed and insured. I want you to know that before we talk about the details, because you should feel comfortable with the company coming into your home and handling an instrument that may have been in your family for years.

When you contact us, tell me what kind of piano you have, where it is now, where it is going, and what the access looks like. Photos of stairs, hallways, doors, and tight corners help. The more I know beforehand, the better I can plan the move and protect your piano and property.

Before the first lift

I would rather ask one more question than make one bad assumption.

A good piano move starts before the truck arrives. These are the things I want understood before the crew puts hands on the instrument.

  1. 01

    The piano

    Grand, baby grand, upright, console, studio, or spinet. The weight, shape, legs, pedals, finish, and balance all affect the move.

  2. 02

    The route

    Doors, stairs, thresholds, tight turns, elevators, parking distance, loading areas, and anything else between the piano and the truck.

  3. 03

    The property

    Flooring, walls, railings, door frames, landscaping, and the rooms around the piano need protection just as much as the instrument does.

  4. 04

    The final placement

    I want to know where the piano belongs at the other end so the crew can place it carefully instead of improvising after a difficult carry.

What you can expect

A clear conversation before move day.

You do not need to know every technical detail. Tell me what you know, send photos if the route is complicated, and ask whatever is making you nervous.

My job is to understand the move well enough to send the right crew with the right protection and a workable route. If something about the access needs more attention, I want to deal with it during planning, not while your piano is sitting in a doorway.

If you are ready, send the piano type, pickup city, delivery city, stairs, access details, and timing. I will have the information needed to start the conversation.

“This is no ordinary upright piano. It weighs 1000lbs and is 130 years old. They treated it with care as if it were their own.”

Ready when you are

Move the piano without turning it into a horror story.

Tell us the piano type, pickup city, delivery city, stairs, and access details. We’ll help map the cleanest move.
