Austin’s go-to piano movers—for designers, builders, and families with great taste.
At Muscleman Elite Moving & Storage, we’re not just movers — we’re your Austin neighbors. Born right here in the heart of Texas, we’ve spent nearly 20 years earning the trust of families, musicians, collectors, and concert halls from Zilker to Steiner Ranch, East Side to Circle C.
We show up on time, fully equipped, and ready to protect what matters most — your piano, your home, and your peace of mind. Whether it’s a baby grand in a South Austin bungalow or an upright on the 20th floor downtown, our elite crews are trained to move every piece with precision and care.
We don’t just move instruments. We move legacies, memories, and the soundtrack of your home — the Austin way.
From baby grands and uprights to antique spinets and full concert pianos, we specialize in piano moves that demand more than just strength. Whether it’s navigating tight stairwells, hoisting over balconies, or protecting delicate finishes, our team brings the precision, planning, and equipment to do it right.
At Muscleman Elite, pianos aren’t a side service—they’re our specialty. That’s why we’re trusted by music teachers, performers, collectors, and families across Central Texas to move the instruments that mean the most.
The cost to move a piano typically ranges from $150 to $600 for local moves, depending on the type of piano, distance, stairs, and complexity. Long-distance moves may cost more.
At Muscleman Elite, most local piano moves fall between $225 and $500. We provide clear, upfront pricing with no hidden fees and tailor every quote to the details of your move. See Pricing.
Technically, yes—but most aren’t equipped or trained to do it properly. Moving a piano requires specialized equipment, experience, and technique. Some don’t move them at all.
That’s why many local movers refer their piano jobs to us. We’ve moved thousands of uprights, baby grands, and full-size concert pianos safely and efficiently.
Pianos are extremely heavy and fragile. Moving one without training or proper tools can cause serious injury or expensive damage to the piano, floors, or walls.
We strongly recommend leaving it to professionals. Our crew shows up with the right team, the right tools, and a clear plan to move your piano safely.
Most piano moves take 1 to 3 hours, depending on access, type of piano, and distance between locations.
With Muscleman Elite, most upright or baby grand moves are completed in under 2 hours. We move with care, speed, and zero shortcuts.
Yes, most pianos will need to be tuned after a move. Even small vibrations or a change in humidity can affect the strings and soundboard.
We recommend waiting about two weeks after your move before scheduling a tuning. We’re happy to refer a trusted local piano tuner if needed.
Yes, but it requires proper technique, manpower, and equipment. Stairs add significant risk if handled incorrectly.
We specialize in complex moves—upstairs, downstairs, and even balcony hoists when necessary. It’s what we do best.
Professional movers should offer both liability and cargo coverage for piano moves.
All piano moves with Muscleman Elite are fully insured, and we offer optional additional coverage up to $100,000 for high-value instruments.
Clear the area around the piano and make sure there’s an accessible path through the home. Avoid trying to move or roll the piano yourself.
Once we’re onsite, we’ll handle the rest—including wrapping, securing, and carefully transporting your instrument.
Yes, but it requires planning and careful handling. Long-distance piano moves should be direct and avoid terminals or third-party transfers.
We offer direct service for long-distance moves across Texas and beyond. Your piano stays with our crew the entire way—no transfers, no damage risk.
Pianos are valuable, delicate, and often irreplaceable. Hiring a specialist ensures your instrument is handled properly every step of the way.
At Muscleman Elite, piano moving isn’t a side service—it’s a core part of who we are. That’s why we’re trusted by musicians, schools, designers, and families across Central Texas.
Yes, but not all storage is created equal. Pianos should never be kept in standard storage units or garages where they can be exposed to extreme temperatures or humidity.
Muscleman Elite offers short- and long-term storage solutions designed specifically for sensitive, high-value items. Your piano stays safe in a climate-controlled environment until you’re ready for delivery.
Yes, many moving companies can move your piano along with the rest of your household items—but not all have the skill or equipment to do it safely.
At Muscleman Elite, we can absolutely move your piano as part of a full-service residential move. In fact, it’s one of our specialties. Our crews come prepared to handle both the heavy lifting and the delicate touch required to move everything—from sofas and boxes to baby grands—without a scratch.
