My Yamaha Upright U1E piano move was scheduled on one of the hottest days in California. We're all suffering triple digit temperatures so I commend the team who moved my piano so carefully. Their communication is excellent. From scheduling, to narrowing down the 3-hour window, to courtesy calling me 15 minutes before arrival, to focusing on the task at hand, I felt 110% confident that my piano would be handled with utmost care. I live on the second floor, with a balcony and concrete stairs. The team handled it so well, from the manner in which they protected the piano with heavy blankets secured with strapping, to the step-by-step communication in which they navigated every step. I joked with them about moving pianos in Hong Kong, where they use a crane to move the piano out and lower it down into the truck. They affirmed they occasionally use a crane as well. This is a professional moving company. Their heavy blankets are all matching, the strapping is strong and in good shape, and the team is dressed in uniform. I would highly recommend Encore Piano Moving in a heartbeat for your piano moving needs. read more

I have had multiple experiences with Encore Piano Moving over the years. I cannot recommend them enough! I have had my 7-foot grand piano moved several times for restoration and for storage during remodeling in my home. I had a Mason and Hamlin 50-inch professional upright piano picked up, stored in Stockton for a bit, and then moved across the country to my daughter's house in Florida (the cross-country move was handled by a national piano transport company). Just yesterday, I had a Rogers Classical Organ with its AGO peddle board moved into my home. I cannot thank Encore Piano and Organ enough for their contributions to my peace of mind and in knowing that my instruments are getting the best possible care during a move. read more

Encore Piano Moving - Organ - Piano Services Near Me - Stockton, California

My sister is a piano teacher, and she teaches out of our home which is a historic Victorian built in 1877. Needless to say, we were VERY nervous about moving her beloved 6'4" grand piano into our new home. BUT, we knew we could count on Encore because we've used them multiple times before for other jobs and have even recommended them to students. Sure enough, they got the grand in flawlessly and they EVEN thought to put blankets down on our front steps so that the hand truck wouldn't scuff the paint on them. I sure wish my regular movers would have thought of that!! One other thing I have to say about Encore, they are ALWAYS on time. The one occasion we had a student elect to use another piano mover, we ended up waiting half a day for the guy to show up!! It's definitely worth going with Encore. read more

Encore Piano Moving - They used a blanket to protect my stairs! Sure wish my regular furniture movers would have thought have that! - Piano Services Near Me - Stockton, California

We bought a 6' grand piano in Doublin and needed to get it moved to Sacramento. Encore was reasonable. They sent three men out to the seller's house to move it out. These guys worked together like a well-oiled machine, and they were strong, too. It would have been really hard for one person to do the job. Our piano was stored at their warehouse overnight before two different men delivered it to our house the next day. Once reassembled, we could see that the instrument was in the awesome shape as when we bought it. The men moved it around the room a few times and made sure the piano was at the right spot before they left. We are grateful for the awesome work the front office staff and the movers provided. If anyone needs to move their piano long distance, Encore is the way to go. read more

Encore Piano Moving - Piano Services Near Me - Stockton, California

The movers were fast but careful with my piano. They communicated before they came so I knew when to expect them more precisely than the 3 hour window. They were professional, and personable. I was very happy with my experience with Encore Piano Moving. read more

We bought an upright piano from a store on the other side of the country. Our long-distance mover used Encore as their sub for the local delivery. We are doing some work in our front yard, and part of the driveway is dirt instead of hard surface. The rest, and the path to the front door, is paved and easy. I sent them a video and discussed this with them, and offered to put down pavers to provide a continuous hard surface from the street. They said "it's no problem, we can just back the truck in and position the lift gate so it drops the piano to the hard surface." Which was exactly what they did. The whole delivery took ten minutes, with just one interior step between the entryway and living room. And then they upcharged me, saying it was because of the unpaved driveway and needing 3 movers. Edit: NO THEY DIDN'T!! Turns out the long distance moving company, not Encore, was trying to bill me as if Encore had invoiced them, but Encore hadn't - this was a purely fictitious charge made up by the long distance mover. When I caught the long distance company doing this, they waived the upcharge. I apologize to Encore for blaming them for something they didn't do. I revised my rating to 4 stars. read more

I was nervous, at first, because the cost was so much lower than most movers, but that quickly faded. These gentlemen were amazing. They were professional, quiet, very careful, and made it look easy, to say the least. Not a scratch on my beautiful Yamaha C1, and they were timely. Would happily use them again if I need it, and will definitely be recommending them to anyone with this need. They made the process seamless! I can't say enough great things about them, they truly made my day!!! read more

Encore Piano Moving - After move and setup. - Piano Services Near Me - Stockton, California

I own a 1922 Heirloom Steinway O. As I planned my move from San Jose to Brentwood, I knew that it would be risky to trust just any mover to move my piano. After some research and consultation with friends in the piano industry, I selected Encore piano moving. Why? People I trust recommended them, and unlike the other piano movers I talked to, Encore provided insurance coverage for up to 100K. The others didn't even come close to this coverage. Not only did Encore move my piano safely, but they also ensured that I was 100% satisfied with every aspect of the move, including the positioning of my piano in it's new home. They even returned to reposition the piano when I realized, about a week later, that I had made a mistake with the initial positioning. Very professional and respectful throughout the entire process, I highly recommend them to anyone who has a piano that needs to be moved in the SF Bay Area!! read more

I have been a piano teacher for over 35 years and have used many piano movers over the years from the East Coast to here in California. By far .... ENCORE PIANO MOVERS are the best piano movers I've ever seen. PERIOD! I now refer them to all my students, friends, associates in the music business, and clients. With Encore Piano Movers, you can be assured and have peace of mind that your piano will be handled with the utmost care. All of the staff are professional, courteous, clean, and very confident in what they do. Lots of piano experience with these great movers. You will see this high level of professionalism from the time you call the friendly office staff, to the moment your piano is in your chosen location. And, if you need to store your piano during a remodel, or whatever reason, they also provide options to safely store your piano, if needed. And I've seen their storage facilities which are secure, clean and climate controlled where each piano is wrapped and protected for either short term or long term storage. As a piano teacher and also being an independent piano tuner-technician, I know how important properly storing any piano can be. I met the owner, Andrew, a few years ago when I personally needed my own piano moved on short notice. Andrew and his staff were able to move my piano on the day I needed. I quickly discovered this would be the ONLY piano mover I would use and recommend from now on. My only regret is that I had not used them before. Now, all my students and clients tell me what a great experience they've had with Encore. I've actually seen these guys move pianos from the smallest spinet, to the largest concert grand that piano manufacturers make. There's no job too small or too large, from tight and small spaces to high rise buildings - rain or shine, no stairs or lots of stairs, ... or even from one room in your house to another ... across the street or across the USA .... I've had no hesitation in recommending Encore Piano Moving. On behalf of all my students, clients and friends who have hired Encore ..... I'm sure they would all agree, ... this is by far the best Piano Mover you can find. read more
