Owner Marshall Rapp • Extensive hands-on piano & specialty experience • Proper equipment — never improvised
Why Most “Movers” Should Not Touch Your Piano
A piano is not just heavy furniture. It is a precision instrument with thousands of moving parts, delicate strings, and a finish that scratches easily. Improper lifting, sliding, or strapping can cause thousands of dollars in damage — and most general moving crews do not own the right equipment or have the training.
We use actual piano boards and heavy ratchet straps designed for instruments. We have moved grands and uprights in high-rises, beach homes, and tight condos throughout Southwest Florida without a single claim on these moves.
Our Piano & Specialty Moving Process
Detailed On-Site Assessment
We measure every doorway, hallway, stair, and elevator. We identify the exact route and any building restrictions (common in Pelican Bay, Marco Island, and downtown Naples). We discuss whether legs or the lyre on a grand will need removal.
Proper Preparation & Protection
The piano receives multiple layers of professional blankets secured with straps made for instruments. For grands we use a proper piano board or skid. Floors and walls along the entire path are protected before we lift anything.
Specialized Equipment & Technique
We use piano boards, heavy ratchet straps, and additional crew for grands. We never drag, slide, or improvise. Every movement is planned and communicated.
Secure, Careful Transport
The piano rides on the truck floor against the cab wall, strapped in multiple directions. We drive slowly and avoid rough roads when possible. The instrument stays stable the entire trip.
Precise Placement & Reassembly
At the destination we reverse the process. Grands are reassembled (legs, lyre, pedals) and positioned exactly where you want them. We level the instrument when requested and complete a full inspection with you.
How Piano & Specialty Pricing Works
Piano and specialty item moves are quoted after we assess the specific details — piano type and size, access challenges, and any disassembly or crating required. You’ll receive a clear written quote with no surprises.

Real Piano & Specialty Moves in Southwest Florida
Grand Piano — Pelican Bay High-Rise (Naples): A 6’2” grand piano moved from a waterfront home to a 12th-floor condo. We coordinated the service elevator, used a piano board and extra crew, and placed it perfectly in the living room overlooking the Gulf. The client’s piano technician later commented on how well it arrived.
Upright Piano — Fort Myers to Estero: A family heirloom upright that had not been moved in 25 years. We wrapped it extensively, navigated a narrow townhouse staircase, and positioned it in the new home where the family could continue playing it daily.
Gun Safe — Bonita Springs to Golden Gate Estates: A 550 lb gun safe moved from a home to a Golden Gate Estates property. We used proper lifting technique and padding, protected all floors, and placed it exactly where the customer needed it for installation.
What Piano Owners Say
"I was extremely nervous about moving my grandmother’s grand piano. Marshall’s team used real piano equipment and treated the instrument like it was worth far more than it is. It arrived in perfect condition and they even helped me position it exactly where the sound is best in the new house. I will never trust another company with a piano."
