Piano Moving World runs six kinds of piano jobs, and the same crew handles every one of them — our own riggers, our own trucks, no subcontractors and no general movers filling in. Owner Eli Sorensen spent nine years as a piano technician before he ever loaded a truck, so the crew treats a piano like an instrument, not furniture. Whether it’s a console piano going down a Lyons basement stairwell or a concert grand crossing three states, we quote a flat rate by piano type before the job is booked.
- Local Piano Moving — Flat-rate moves across Lyons and Cook County, handled start to finish by our own rigging crew and our own trucks.
- Long-Distance Piano Moving — Licensed Midwest piano hauls out of Lyons: the same crew that loads the piano drives it and unloads it, with no handoff along the way.
- Apartment & Walk-Up Piano Moving — Narrow bungalow staircases, tight basement stairwells, and walk-up condos planned for before move day, not figured out on the spot.
- Event & Venue Piano Moving — Weddings, schools, churches, and concert halls scheduled around your event, with the piano set exactly where the program calls for it.
- Piano Prep, Crating & Climate Protection — Full padding, crating, and humidity protection for the piano, priced up front as part of the same written quote.
- Piano Storage — Clean, climate-controlled storage for a piano between homes or venues, for however long the gap runs.
Every service above runs through the same office — Renata Kovac builds the written quote and confirms building access before any truck gets scheduled. Head back to the Piano Moving World home page for the full picture of how we work.
