I had a family heirloom upright piano moved by the folks at Starbird. They made the move with amazing care and precision through a difficult and tight entry way with turn up a flight of stars. I was afraid my piano would have to stay in storage. I had a wonderful experience with this company.

We had a baby grand piano moved from a home to ours. The two gentlemen were absolutely perfect. Very careful, thoughtful and went above and beyond. Thank you Starbird Piano Gallery.

I used them to move my piano from New Hampshire to Maine 2.5 hours away. Two people came and did a good job. The price was very fair for piano moving $800.00. I would recommend.
