Before a piano gets strapped to a board, it goes through prep: pedals locked, lid padded, legs wrapped or removed, and — for long-distance or storage jobs — a humidity-sealed crate built to handle the swing between a Tennessee River summer and a hard winter freeze. Yolanda Briggs runs this side of the operation.
What’s Included
- Keyboard lid locked and action padded so keys and hammers don’t shift in transit
- Full-body quilted pads and corner protection on legs, pedals, and lyre
- Custom wood crating for long-distance routes or extended storage, built to the piano’s dimensions
- Humidity-sealed wrap that guards the soundboard and tuning pins against Chattanooga’s summer humidity and winter freeze-thaw swings
- Pedal lyre and leg removal and reinstallation on grands where the doorway calls for it
- Prep priced into your flat quote by piano type, not billed as a separate line item
| Piano Type | Flat Rate |
|---|---|
| Upright / Console Piano | $225-375 |
| Baby Grand Piano | $425-625 |
| Grand Piano | $625-875 |
| Full Concert Grand | $875-1350 |
Prep like this is standard on every long-distance piano move and every piano headed into piano storage — the crate and wrap are what keep the instrument stable once it’s out of your hands.
