A-Class Student Movers is the piano moving company Shreveport households trust with uprights, console pianos, baby grands, and the occasional church spinet. Pianos do not ride on the residential truck — they get a dedicated three-mover crew, a padded piano board, a four-wheel piano dolly, and the $385 base rate, no surprise equipment fee at the back end.
How piano days run
Greg Whitcomb on the west-side crew handles most piano dispatches. Three movers, dedicated rigging, the truck shows up empty so the piano doesn’t share a load. We pad-wrap every surface, strap the legs and pedal assembly, and roll on a board — not a furniture dolly that bends under the weight.
Stairs, ramps, and Centenary apartments
Most second-floor apartment uprights move with a stair-strap and a four-person crew. Baby grands break into case, lyre, pedal assembly, and legs. Standard procedure. We’ll flag the four-mover upcharge on the estimate if your route has two flights with a landing turn.
Out-of-state piano
Pianos travel weekly on our long-distance trucks to Dallas, Shreveport, Little Rock, and Memphis. The instrument rides in a pad-pen on the truck deck, strapped to the bulkhead, with no household goods stacked against it.
What is not included
The $385 piano base does not include tuning, regulation, or refinishing. We’ll hand off two Shreveport tuners we’ve worked with for years and recommend you wait two to three weeks for the soundboard to settle. Player-piano motor reassembly is included when it’s a factory unit, not aftermarket retrofit.
