Piano Crating

Built for
long-distance travel.

For long-distance and international moves, crating your piano is the safest option. We build custom crates to industry best practices, protecting your instrument through every stage of transport.

Long-distance protection

Crating reduces risk during extended transport, particularly when a piano may be transferred between vehicles or handled by freight carriers. The standard for cross-country and international moves.

Custom-built crates

Every piano is different. We build each crate to fit the specific instrument, ensuring it’s secured properly for the journey.

International standards

We’ve moved pianos to countries around the world. Our crating meets the requirements for international shipping and customs handling.

When to crate

Three situations where crating earns its keep.

Cross-country

Coast-to-coast moves where the instrument may be transferred between vehicles or freight carriers.

International

Customs handling, ocean transport, varying climate exposure across the journey.

Vintage & rare

Heirloom or one-of-a-kind instruments where the cost of any handling damage outweighs the crating premium.
