Modern Piano moved our beautiful Kawai 6' concert grand all the way from FL to CA without a scratch. The move went flawlessly on both ends and the company was a pleasure to work with. I'd pick them again without hesitation if I ever need to move again. Moving an expensive piano is a very specialized endeavor and Modern's staff are pro's. Thanks to Tyler and Cody, and everyone at MPM!

We were impressed with Modern Piano when they picked up our piano, their communications and delivery. Our piano was moved from a private home in WI to a private home in Los Angeles. We highly recommend them!

Modern Piano Moving was more than I hoped for in terms of exceeding their service. The people were friendly and followed through on their care of my piano transport. The care they took in packaging, moving, scheduling, and exceeding my expectations was extremely important to me. My piano gift arrived at it's destination unharmed in any way. I was extremely pleased!!!

I was unaware that I needed a piano moving company to get my daughter's piano from Pennsylvania to Florida. Once informed, I did an on-line search and luckily, the first one listed was Modern Piano Moving. Thank God. You just cannot beat Margie for her attention to detail and calm efficiency in coordinating the move and any customer service questions you may have. The piano arrived unscathed by all the travel. My daughter is delighted to have her piano with her again. Check out Modern Piano Moving. Professional, respectful, great customer service, and worth it.

Modern Piano Moving is incredible. From my first web inquiry, they have been responsive, communicative (you can talk to a real, reasonable person!), and they do exactly what they say they will do. My piano was delivered on time (exactly on time!) and in excellent condition. Every contact with them has been impressive. I was not available to be on the pick up or the delivery end, but they worked with my neighbors and friends to get the job done. I couldn’t be more impressed.

All went very smoothly. Very satisfied. I was going to move the piano myself but found that it was much more economical to simply have them do it for me without the worry of ruining it. The two fellows who came were professional and efficient.

Modern piano movers moved our piano from San Diego to the Denver area. Very pleased with the level of service. Piano was well taken care of and arrived in perfect condition. Communication with dispatch was great. The moving price was more affordable than a few other companies I looked into. Highly recommend Modern Piano Movers and I would definitely use the company again

This company was as good as it could get! They picked up my piano on time and packed it with care. They stored it in MN for just a few weeks and then delivered it to me in Colorado in the exact condition they took it. I was so worried after reading horror stories about piano movers, but this company was better than I could have hoped for!

Piano arrived damaged. They did not honor the insurance we had purchased from them, despite photographic evidence. Stay away.

The woman in the office who scheduled the move and took care of all the documents was extremely helpful and friendly. My apartment building is very strict and she worked over the weekend to ensure I had the proper COI. The men who delivered my piano were very professional and efficient. I am a petite woman and was alone when they delivered the piano and felt very comfortable with them there.

Modern Piano is a throwback to the days when companies were run by people who cared about their customers’ service and their own reputation. Every single aspect of this move went perfectly and courteously. The quote was reasonable, the dispatcher kept us advised as promised, and it was disassembled and reassembled (a baby grand) professionally by men who really knew their business. I agree with other reviewers below - it would be a mistake to entrust a valuable piano to anybody but these folks.

Using Modern Piano to move my piano from PA to NC was the best decision. The customer service was fantastic with great communication every step along the way. The actual movers on move-out and move-in day were very knowledgeable about not only how to properly care for and transport the piano, but also gave great advice for how to acclimate the piano in the new space, what considerations should be taken to position the piano in the best place in the room/house, and how to best care for the piano. I am very satisfied and would recommend to anyone and everyone to use Modern Piano and not bother shopping around - I did the shopping around for you, and Modern Piano is the best!

The removal of the piano from Elsah, Illinois was accomplished with care and dispatch. The movers are experts, courteous and friendly and the piano arrived in West Virginia on the agree on date and was in the house in ten or fifteen minutes. All was well with the instrument -- it had received excellent care on the journey, and important advice on continuing care was given before they left. I can't recommend Modern Piano Moving highly enough. I thought the cost of the move modest, considering the circumstances, and the distance. Regret being unable to provide photos at this time -- the piano IS beautiful and is happy in its new home -- and the sight of the van in my rural driveway was a neighborhood sensation.
Response from Modern Piano Moving
"Thanks! We love what we do and it shows!! It is always nice to hear when an entire company made someone's move as pleasant as possible. Pianos are members of a family and we treat them as such. If we can improve on anything please let us know."

All the staff I spoke with were very professional and caring. Kimberly provided a quote, dealt with my changes along the way and was always kind and caring. The movers at both pick up site and delivery were professional and efficient. The process of communication regarding pick up and delivery was easy, the movers were on time and when they hit a traffic snag they went out of the way to let me know they would be a little late. I highly recommend this company and will use them again if I ever need to move a piano over distance.
Response from Modern Piano Moving
"[Member Name Removed], thank you for the great review! Kimberly is just one of our outstanding Sales/Move Coordinators. Everyone at Modern Piano strives to ensure every move goes as smoothly as possible and it is comforting to know that we are succeeding at that goal. Thanks again!"

Everything went as planned. Communication along the way was excellent. They also provided cups at a reasonable price for the piano legs to sit in so it's easy to move around the room without damaging my hardwood floors. Great value add

Excellent piano moving services! Very efficient, timely, and the moving crew worked hard to protect the piano during loading/unloading, as well as setup in my home!

Great experience. Did what they said, charged what they said...rare these days.
Response from Modern Piano Moving

Movers showed up on date given. We were notified a few days before and also 20 minutes before they arrived. Very professional in protecting piano as well as bench and piano stool. This was old piano of sentimental value as our mother taught on and was sent back to my sister to keep in family. When moving truck pulled up to her house in Utah, my sister said she had tears in her eyes, remembering back when mom taught her, and seeing the old piano and stool she used to spin on after practicing. Modern Piano Movers delivered as professional and picked up notifying them before delivery. Would definitely use them again if needed.

Modern Piano Movers is a great company! They are reasonably priced, and treat your piano as if it were their own. Upon my parents' passing, I had the family piano shipped from California to Virginia. They kept me informed every step of the way. The crew who delivered it treated it with the utmost care, which was very important to me given it sentimental value. I would highly recommend Modern Piano Movers to anyone who has a piano that is precious to them that needs to be shipped.

One concern: movers entered house without masks. They should insist all personnel be masked when in customer’s homes.
Response from Modern Piano Moving
"Hi [Member Name Removed] - Thank you for the A rating, I'm glad that your move went well and your piano arrived safe and sound. Please accept our apology regarding the masks. Our policy is to wear masks upon customer request and we did not clarify the mask requirement in the driver's instructions."
