Moving a piano in Geneva, a specialist's job
Piano moving has nothing in common with ordinary furniture transport: an upright piano often weighs 200 to 300 kg, a grand piano can exceed 400 kg, and the slightest twist threatens the soundboard, the action or the lacquered case. In Geneva, the challenge is compounded by the ground reality: old buildings without a lift in the Pâquis and Plainpalais, tight stairwells in the Old Town, narrow landings and blue-zone parking with a permit in the Eaux-Vives or Champel. Hoisting the piano via the façade with a furniture lift then becomes the safest solution. Our dedicated piano transport teams cover the entire canton of Geneva and the canton of Vaud. Strap trolleys, hoisting boards, padded covers and custom bracing: every instrument is protected door to door. We account for the temperature and humidity swings that can put a piano out of tune, and, if you wish, we coordinate a tuner's visit once the instrument has settled after installation.
Why trust us with your piano move
Proper hoisting equipment
Wheeled trolleys, carrying straps, grand-piano boards and a furniture lift: we choose the hoisting technique based on weight, floor and access.
Uprights and grands
Upright, baby grand or concert grand piano: we remove legs and lyre when needed and transport each type of instrument in a secure position.
Protection and climate care
Padded covers, corner protection, strapping and attention to humidity: the case, finish and action stay intact throughout the move.
Fixed price and insurance
Firm quote in CHF after assessing weight and access, insured transport (liability) covering the value of the instrument. No hidden extras.
Your piano transport specialist in Geneva
From the Haussmann-style apartments of the Eaux-Vives and Pâquis to the villas of Cologny, Vandœuvres and Conches, and including the conservatories, concert halls and music schools of the city centre, we know the hoisting constraints of every Geneva building. Spiral staircases, narrow doors, balconies or windows to remove: we plan the piano hoist ahead so there are no surprises on the day. We work throughout the canton of Geneva and the canton of Vaud, including piano moves between cantons or to climate-controlled storage. On request, we coordinate a tuner's visit once the instrument has settled into its new environment.
Frequently asked questions — Piano Moving in Geneva
Do you handle both upright and grand pianos?
Yes. We handle upright piano transport, baby grands and concert grand piano removal. For grands, we remove the legs and lyre and transport the piano on its side, braced on a suitable board.
How do you hoist a piano in an old building without a lift?
Depending on the floor and stairwell, we use strap carrying or façade hoisting with a furniture lift. We assess access in advance to choose the safest method.
Will the piano go out of tune after the move?
Any piano move involves temperature and humidity swings that can affect the tuning. We transport the instrument with care and recommend a tuning after a few weeks of settling; we can coordinate that visit.
Is the piano hoist insured?
Yes, transport is covered by our liability insurance up to the value of the instrument. We confirm the terms in the quote before the job.
Do you work across the whole canton and in Vaud?
Yes, we move pianos throughout the city of Geneva, the whole canton and the canton of Vaud, including cross-canton transport or moves to climate-controlled storage.
Is the quote fixed?
Yes. After assessing the model, weight and access at both origin and destination, we confirm a firm price in CHF with no hidden extras.
