For nearly a century, Stumpf Moving & Storage has been a family-owned and operated Pittsburgh moving company specializing in professional piano and organ moving. Since 1936, we've built a reputation as Pittsburgh's most trusted piano movers. Each year, our experienced crews move more than 400 pianos throughout Western Pennsylvania and across the country, from spinets and upright pianos to baby grands and full-size concert grands. Our decades of experience reinforce our position as Western Pennsylvania's premier piano mover.


Our expertise extends well beyond residential piano moving. We are trusted by professional venues throughout Pittsburgh's Cultural District, as well as universities such as Duquesne University and Carnegie Mellon University. Local school districts, churches, and regional arts and cultural organizations also rely on our specialized piano moving expertise. Established piano retailers, including Fort Pitt Piano Company, Pittsburgh's premier Steinway & Sons dealer, rely on Stumpf Moving & Storage for professional, dependable delivery of newly purchased pianos to their customers' homes.


Proper piano moving requires more than experience alone. It takes specialized equipment, trained professionals, and the ability to handle challenging moves safely and efficiently. Our specially designed piano trucks are equipped with cantilever lift gates, which are particularly valuable when navigating Pittsburgh's hills, uneven terrain, and challenging loading areas. Unlike conventional loading systems, our lift gates allow a piano to remain level as it is raised into the truck, providing a controlled and stable loading process.


Our equipment doesn't stop there. We carry 6-foot and 12-foot loading ramps, piano boards, non-marking piano dollies, and specialized land dollies to handle the wide variety of challenges our crews encounter. From steep hills and difficult staircases to narrow doorways, uneven surfaces, and tight access, we have the equipment and experience to plan for the challenges that come with moving pianos throughout Pittsburgh and beyond.


Stumpf Moving & Storage is fully licensed and insured and operates its own 12,000-square-foot, temperature-controlled storage warehouse in Penn Hills, Pennsylvania. This allows us to provide complete piano moving and storage services under one roof, with the same company handling your piano from pickup through delivery and storage.


Whether moving a family heirloom, delivering a newly purchased piano, transporting a concert grand for a professional venue, or providing long-term piano storage, we bring the equipment, experience, and care that every instrument deserves.

How We Move a Grand Piano Down a Flight of Stairs

Piano Storage in Pittsburgh

If your piano needs a temporary home during a renovation, sale or move, we store it in our own temperature controlled Penn Hills warehouse. Most piano movers have to hand your instrument to a separate storage company. Because we have our own storage facility, your piano stays in our care from pickup to delivery.
