Grandfather Clock & Organ Moving in Chicago

The organ: respect the weight

Organs run a huge range, from compact spinet organs to console organs to the pump organs that came out of churches and parlors a century ago, and the constant across all of them is deceptive weight in an awkward cabinet. Keyboards, stops, and pedals want padding; the cabinet wants blankets and shrink wrap; and the whole instrument wants a crew that has carried this kind of mass through Chicago doorways and down Chicago staircases before. That's us, weekly, with pianos, and the craft transfers directly.

One crew for the whole heirloom shelf

These moves rarely travel alone. The clock goes where the household goes, the organ rides along with the piano, and the practical advantage of our crews is that one team handles all of it inside the same move, with the same protection running through the house: runners on the floors, padded door frames, and a truck loaded so the delicate cabinets ride braced and untouched. If the destination isn't ready, our climate-controlled storage holds instruments in managed temperature and humidity, which suits a clock's old wood as well as it suits a soundboard.

This service is one branch of everything we do for instruments and heirlooms; the full lineup lives on our Piano Moving page.

What it costs

Like all our specialty work, the quote depends on the piece and the access: a spinet organ on a ground floor is a different job than a tall clock coming down a vintage staircase. Estimates are free and non-binding, given before the day, with no surprises after it.
