Piano Delivery Service in Inverness

The upright piano is the most common instrument we move in Inverness.

Schools, churches, music teachers, and private households all rely on them. Invernesses Cathedral on Ardross Street houses several large uprights used for worship and recitals. We have experience working within historic buildings where floors are uneven and doorways are original Victorian width, often as narrow as 73 cm.

Music teachers in the Crown area, particularly along Crown Road and Kenneth Street, frequently need uprights moved between teaching studios and storage.

We provide short-notice bookings for these jobs. Our crews are used to working in occupied residential streets where parking restrictions on yellow lines near the town centre mean we need to plan loading zones carefully.

For school deliveries, we work with music departments at sites such as Inverness Royal Academy on Culduthel Road and the primary schools across the Inshes and Westhill areas.

Schools often need delivery and placement during term-time windows, and our crews respect timetables and quiet requirements.

Upright pianos must travel upright.

We never lay them on their backs unless the manufacturer specifically approves it and the instrument is first fully prepared. Our vans carry full-length load bars and anchor points to keep uprights stable throughout the journey.

If you are moving a Yamaha U1 from a Crown flat or a Broadwood cottage upright from a farmhouse outside the city, our process does not change.

The instrument arrives in tune and undamaged.

Every piano delivery starts with a conversation.

We need to know the type of piano, the current location, the destination, and the access conditions at both ends. This is not bureaucracy. It is the difference between a smooth delivery and a damaged staircase.

For properties in central Inverness, particularly around the Victorian grid of streets between the High Street and Friar's Lane, we often conduct a pre-move access check.

Doorway widths below 80 cm require additional planning. Steps without handrails need different techniques.

Properties above the second floor require advance assessment of staircase width, ceiling height at landings, and whether the instrument can physically make the journey.

We use our GPS tracking app to keep you updated throughout the delivery.

You will know when the crew is en route and when they are 20 minutes away. This matters particularly for properties in the Beechwood and Scorguie areas where access windows may be short.

Our crews operate seven days a week.

Same-day bookings are accepted for piano deliveries when crew and vehicle availability allows. For jobs booked in advance, we recommend at least 48 hours notice to allow proper route planning, especially for grand pianos or properties with known access challenges.

After placement, we position the piano exactly where you want it.

We fit the legs, lower the lid, replace the music desk, and check that the castors are locked before we leave. The whole process, from vehicle to final position, is handled by our crew. You do not need to lift a thing.
