Piano Care Tips for After the Move
Suseyi Pro doesn’t just stop at safely transporting your piano. We understand that acclimatization to a new environment is crucial. Pianos, particularly in fluctuating island climates, may need time to adjust. Our experts advise waiting a few weeks before tuning your piano in its new home. Should the need arise for humidity control, we can provide guidance on using humidifiers or dehumidifiers to protect your instrument’s integrity.
Testing the Piano Post-Move
Unique to Kitsap and King Counties, our piano moving service includes a classically trained pianist to ensure your instrument’s perfect setup. Trust Suseyi Pro Moving, where every move is a masterpiece.

Frequently Asked Questions
Piano moving costs depend on the piano type (upright, baby grand, or concert grand), stairways, distance, and access difficulty. Local piano moves in Kitsap County and King County typically range from a few hundred dollars for an upright to over a thousand for a grand piano with stairs. Call Suseyi Pro Moving at (206) 372-4619 for an exact estimate.
Grand pianos can be moved up or down stairs by trained crews using specialized piano dollies, lifting straps, and a minimum of three movers working in coordinated positions. The piano is wrapped in heavy moving blankets and secured to a piano board before navigating any stairway. Suseyi Pro Moving handles grand piano stair moves throughout Kitsap and King Counties.
Wait at least two to three weeks after a move before scheduling a piano tuning. The piano needs time to acclimatize to the humidity and temperature of its new environment, and premature tuning will not hold. Suseyi Pro Moving provides post-move acclimatization guidance so you know exactly when to call your tuner.
Suseyi Pro Moving has a classically trained pianist on staff who assists with proper setup and placement after delivery, but tuning should be performed by a certified piano technician after the instrument has settled. The on-staff pianist ensures the piano is correctly positioned for acoustics and playability. This expertise sets Suseyi apart from general moving companies in the Puget Sound area.
Professional piano movers use specialized piano dollies with locking rubber wheels, heavy-duty lifting straps rated for the piano's weight, thick moving blankets, and a piano board or skid for grand pianos. This equipment prevents internal damage to hammers, strings, and soundboards during transport. Suseyi Pro Moving maintains dedicated piano moving gear separate from standard moving supplies.
Pianos can sustain internal and external damage during a move if handled without proper equipment and technique, including cracked soundboards, broken hammers, scratched finishes, and shifted tuning pins. Professional piano movers mitigate these risks through layered wrapping, vibration control, and climate awareness. Suseyi Pro Moving documents the piano's condition before and after every move.
Suseyi Pro Moving is based in Poulsbo and regularly moves pianos on Bainbridge Island, including for the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art where they serve as a key contractor. The team is familiar with ferry schedules, island road access, and the older home layouts common on Bainbridge. They have won Best of Bainbridge three years running from 2022 through 2024.
Moving a piano in a pickup truck is risky because the open bed exposes the instrument to weather, road vibration, and shifting during turns or stops. Professional piano movers use enclosed trucks with tie-down systems and padded interiors designed to keep the piano stationary. For a piano worth thousands of dollars, the cost of professional transport is far less than the cost of repair or replacement.
