Do I Need To Hire Piano Movers?

The Piano moving companies we work with specialize in safely moving large, heavy, and expensive pianos & organs with special equipment, dollies, and harnesses. Piano movers have specialized training and know how to properly secure, transport, and setup the instrument with care and precision. They should be qualified to move the piano from a home, apartment, or business and safely maneuver stairs. Additionally, interstate piano movers (moving state to state) need to be properly licensed in order to do nationwide moves across state lines. Basically, this is not the time to get help from friends and try to strong-arm this heavy move. Even if you've waited until the last minute, our movers can help ASAP! Your piano might be a priceless antique passed down through the family for generations, or you might own a beautiful walnut Steinway grand that’s worth close to six-figures. No matter what type of piano you own, it’s likely a cherished item that you want to preserve and protect. Moving a piano is nerve-wracking for any piano owner – a mishap could spell disaster for your beloved instrument. When transporting these behemoths, it’s essential to have the proper tools and training to ensure the piano stays intact and that no one gets injured. While some owners may want to move the piano themselves, it’s smart to hire a professional moving company to do the work for you. Piano movers have specialized knowledge and know the correct handling techniques to ensure smooth disassembly, transport, and set-up. They also have the equipment (i.e., dollies, blankets, and straps), to make sure no one throws their back out during the move.

How Much Does It Cost To Move A Piano?

The average cost to move an upright piano is between $400 to $600. Expect to add an additional $100 for baby grand pianos and an additional $150 for grand pianos. The final cost will ultimately depend on several factors: the type of piano, its age, whether there are sets of stairs, and the distance you’re transporting it. Pianos range from 300 pound upright pianos to 1200 pound grand pianos. The more substantial the piece, the more complicated, and thus more expensive the move. For a regular upright piano, it might actually be cheaper to move than you'd expect. Age also plays a factor in piano moving costs. An antique piano is more fragile than a more recent model, requiring more attention to how the piano is disassembled, crated, and reassembled. Because of the difficulty with moving a piano up or down stairs, movers typically charge an additional fee for each set of stairs they encounter. Finally, distance plays a significant role in the total moving expense. In-town or local moves cost much less than an out-of-state relocation.

Professional Piano Moving Services

Find a full-service piano mover to move your piano or organ safely. Many of our moving partners provide the following piano moving services:

Do You Need To Disassemble The Piano Before Moving?

Though most uprights don’t require disassembly, if you’re moving a baby or concert grand, taking it apart first is a must. Talk to a professional piano mover to better understand the proper techniques for disassembling these giant instruments. They’ll carefully remove and separately wrap the piano lid, pedals, lyre, music rack, and legs to ensure these parts aren’t snapped off during the move.

Is There Special Piano Moving Equipment?

Though many pianos sit on tiny wheel casters, you never want to attempt rolling the piano on them. Because of the weight bearing down on each of them, these little wheels could dig into your hardwood floors or destroy your carpet. Piano movers come equipped with a piano dolly that safely transports your piano without leaving streaks behind. Additionally, they have the padding and blankets to ensure they pack your instrument securely for the journey ahead.

Is Moving An Organ The Same As Moving A Piano?

From upright pianos to organs, no instrument is too big for a professional mover. Great Guys Moving helps you find reliable piano and organ movers who carry valid licensing and insurance. These relocation crews take the time to disassemble your piano, carefully wrap each piece, transport it to the truck, and secure it for transit. Once at your destination, they’ll reassemble it, so it’s ready for tuning.
