Since 1952, homeowners, schools, performance venues, and organizations throughout the Twin Cities have trusted Piepho Moving & Storage with their valuable pianos. From careful preparation and transportation to placement in your new location, we deliver the attention to detail and professional care your instrument deserves.
Every piano is unique, with its own structure, balance, and handling needs. Piepho Moving & Storage brings the right expertise and equipment for any model. We tailor the move—from compact spinets to nine‑foot concert grands—for safety and security. With 70 years serving the Twin Cities, we’ve safely moved it all.
We remove and wrap the legs, lyre, and music rack, then secure the body on a padded piano board with heavy blankets and straps. This precision protects the legs and delicate mechanics—whether moving to a Minneapolis home or a St. Paul venue.
Top-heavy uprights demand balance; we use custom dollies and piano-specific straps to keep them stable while protecting keys, pedals, and finish. Tight corners, stairs, and narrow halls are our specialty for a scratch-free move.
For high-value, antique, or international moves, we build custom, shock-absorbent crates. As an Allied Van Lines agent, we manage door-to-door logistics worldwide with one point of contac.
Our military-approved Minnesota and Wisconsin warehouses are secure. Your piano is padded, wrapped, and stored securely until delivery.
As Minneapolis’s premier piano movers, Piepho Moving & Storage understands the city’s unique logistical landscape. From historic Linden Hills and Kenwood to North Loop and Downtown apartments and condos, our experienced teams navigate tight stairwells, service elevators, and narrow halls with meticulous care and professionalism.
We provide comprehensive Minneapolis piano moving services and secure storage to protect your instrument during renovations, in-between moves, or complex relocations. Whether you’re moving a cherished family upright or a concert grand, trust Piepho as your dedicated partner for a safe, seamless piano move anywhere in Minneapolis.
St. Paul residents need piano movers known for reliability and care—and Piepho Moving & Storage is the trusted choice. We serve historic neighborhoods like Summit Hill, Macalester-Groveland, and Cathedral Hill, and understand the challenges of classic architecture and diverse housing styles.
Our professional crews bring the right tools and techniques to handle any situation—from main-floor placements to multi-story moves. We treat every piano as our own, delivering a stress-free experience from start to finish.
Moving a piano is not simply a matter of heavy lifting. It is the careful relocation of a precision instrument, often a significant financial investment and a deeply personal heirloom. At Piepho Moving & Storage, we understand this distinction. We are not just general movers who occasionally handle pianos — we are specialist piano movers serving the entire Minneapolis–St. Paul metropolitan area, backed by over 70 years of experience and the resources of the Allied Van Lines network.
At Piepho, our customers’ peace of mind comes first. Whether you need our Minneapolis piano movers to navigate a high-rise apartment or our St. Paul piano movers to handle a historic home, Piepho Moving & Storage offers award-winning service at a great price.
We understand that the thought of moving a heavy, delicate, and valuable instrument can be stressful. That’s why our professional piano moving team is here to provide more than just physical labor. Our friendly, supportive team members will ensure that your piano’s move is comfortable and seamless for you and your family.
Piepho Moving & Storage offers a complete range of piano-specific services designed to handle every aspect of your relocation, from the initial assessment to the final placement in your new home.
Whether you are moving across town or relocating to another state, our trained crews handle the full scope of your piano move. We use custom dollies, heavy-duty protective pads, and specialized lifting equipment to ensure your piano is transported without damage.
For particularly valuable or antique pianos, or for long-distance and international moves, we offer custom crating services. A properly constructed crate provides a rigid, cushioned enclosure that minimizes the risk of damage during transit, offering the highest level of protection available.
Our service extends beyond transport. Our crews will carefully deliver your piano to its designated room, position it precisely as requested, and reassemble any components, including legs, pedals, and the lyre, so that your instrument is ready for its first post-move tuning appointment.
