Piano Transport and Tuning for Music Universities and Conservatories

At a music university, a grand piano rarely plays for just one person. In the morning a student practises, at midday a professor teaches, in the evening there is an exam or a concert. We are a small, well-coordinated team with partners in Europe and America, and we make sure your upright and grand pianos stand where they are needed and sound the way your institution expects. In Vienna, throughout Austria and abroad.

One grand piano, many hands

In a practice room, a grand piano is played from morning to night. It travels from the teaching room to the hall and back again, and before every exam it has to be in tune once more. Every hour in which it is missing or out of tune is an hour missing from someone’s practice.

That is why, with a university, we do not think in single jobs but in the rhythm of your academic year: exams, auditions, concerts, and the time in between, when buildings are renovated or departments move.

An instrument at a university never belongs to just one person. It belongs to everyone who learns on it.

From the teaching room to the hall

A grand piano has to go to the concert hall, an upright to the room next door or to another building of your university. We also carry concert grands up and down stairs, even where there is no lift, and set them up where they are needed.

Tuned before the exam

Entrance exams, competitions, auditions and concerts cannot be postponed. That is why we tune your instruments beforehand, and we agree the time with you so that it fits your timetable.

When a whole building moves

If a building is renovated or a department moves to new rooms, we take several instruments out at once. Until the rooms are ready, we store them with us, and then we bring them back to their places.

For students and teachers

Anyone who comes to Vienna to study, or moves on after their studies, sometimes takes their own piano along. We bring the instruments of your students and professors to wherever their new home is.

How we work with universities and conservatories

You have one contact person for everything, from the first call until the instrument is in its place. You receive the fixed price in writing, based on photos, before we set off, and payment is by invoice. We are available Monday to Friday, 8 am to 6 pm.
