$20 would be a nice tip unless the fee to move the other piano is excessive. You might even want to suggest that you'll pay them directly to move the piano, cutting out the middle man.

All done. There were three of them, they got $20 each. I believe that was plenty, because the whole job went very fast.

I doubt there's many personalized physical labour jobs that wouldn't appreciate a 20 buck tip. Nicely done.

So, the question is simply: in addition to the extra fee to move the second piano, should these guys be tipped? And how much?

i don't think there is a standard here without hearing more about how much you paid for the delivery and how much work they had to do to move your other piano.

$20 for the group when they are delivering an expensive item that you also paid a delivery fee for is probably a reasonable default. especially if it takes them <5 or 10 minutes to do.

did they have to do any heavy lifting or were they able to roll it? did it take them more than 15 minutes?

$20/person seems like it's on the high end but it totally depends on how much work they were doing and how much you were already paying for them to do it.
