We move pianos in Nashville and across Middle Tennessee with 4 movers and a fully equipped truck. A piano is heavy, awkward to carry, and easy to scratch, so we book every piano on 4 movers. The 4 movers and truck package exists for big items such as pianos and safes. It comes with dollies, moving blankets, straps, plastic wrap, and padding at no extra charge. You can book a piano by itself or add it to a full home move.
What Our Piano Movers Charge
We typically charge $240 per hour for piano moving, which covers 4 movers and a truck. There is a 2-hour minimum, and after that we bill in half-hour increments. The clock starts when our truck parks at your home. It stops when the piano is in place and our equipment is back in the truck.
What you book
Hourly rate
4 movers + truck (pianos, safes, large homes)
$240/hr
Additional mover
$60/hr
Additional truck
$60/hr
Front steps, a long walk from the curb, or a second floor add time. If the piano is part of a full house move, the same 4 movers handle the rest of your home at the same rate.
How Our Movers Protect a Piano
The equipment on our trucks sets the method. Here is how a piano moves with us, in plain terms:
We cover the piano in moving blankets and padding so the finish and corners stay protected.
We wrap the blankets in plastic wrap so they stay put while the piano moves.
We lift the piano onto a dolly and roll it over flat floors and walkways.
Our 4 movers share the weight by hand on steps, porches, and thresholds.
We strap the piano in place inside the truck so it does not shift on the road.
At your new home, we reverse the steps and set the piano where you want it.
Pianos in Older Homes
Many Nashville pianos live in older houses. The East Nashville Historic District covers 22 blocks between Gallatin Road and South 14th and 16th Streets, and it was developed between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Its homes include Queen Anne, Eastlake, Neoclassical, and bungalow styles. Before move day, count the front steps, check the porch, and note any turns between the piano and the door. Tell us these details when you request a quote. That lets us plan the hours and decide if an extra mover at $60 per hour makes sense.
Moving More Than the Piano
A piano often moves with other heavy pieces. Our large item moving page covers safes, armoires, and other bulky furniture on the same package. For a full home where every piece needs extra protection, see our white glove moving service. If you need the rest of the house packed, our packing services cover full or partial packing.
Piano Moving Across Middle Tennessee
We move pianos from our home base in Nashville to the cities around it. For a piano move inside the city, start with movers in Nashville. We also cover:
Piano moving with Moving Hearts costs $240 per hour for 4 movers and a truck, with a 2-hour minimum. After the first 2 hours, we bill in half-hour increments. Stairs and long walks from the truck add time.
2.
Why do you send 4 movers for a piano?
We send 4 movers because a piano is too heavy and awkward for 2 people to carry safely. Our 4 movers and truck package is the one we use for big items such as pianos and safes. More hands also keep the piano steady on stairs.
3.
Can you move only my piano?
Yes, you can book a piano by itself on our 4 movers and truck package. The 2-hour minimum applies. Tell us the pickup and drop-off addresses so we can plan the drive.
4.
Can the piano move on the same day as the rest of my house?
Yes, the same 4 movers can move your piano and the rest of your home in one trip. Our 4 movers package also covers large homes. Tell us about the piano when you request your home moving quote.
5.
What should I tell you about my stairs before a piano move?
Tell us the number of steps, whether they turn, and where the piano sits in the house. Also mention how far the truck can park from your door. These details help us plan the hours and the number of movers.

Hogan and Malakai and with the Nashville location of Moving Hearts did and an incredible job with and a very challenging move, and got it on perfect time with the utmost professionalism.
We moved local as we are downsizing. The crew was fantastic on such a hot day and were completed even quicker than requested. Communication was 5 star. We will definitely be using them again for our forever home.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Moving Hearts saved my move. From the moment they started, they went above and beyond — accommodating everything I needed without a single complaint. What really stood out was their attitude: cool, calm, and completely professional, but also focused and friendly at the same time. In a process that’s normally so stressful, they made everything feel streamlined and easy.
A special shout-out to Mr. Hogan, who took such great care throughout the entire move. They handled my belongings with care and made sure every detail was taken care of, turning what could have been a chaotic experience into a smooth one from start to finish. I am absolutely looking forward to re-hiring Moving Hearts when I relocate to New York or Seattle.
If I could give this team 10 stars, I would. Thank you so much!
