There’s no single answer to that question, as it all depends on a bunch of factors, like the size and value of your piano and how far you’ve got to move it. Prices with High Stream Moving start as low as $360, rising depending on the nature of the job. To move a large piano several miles across the city, for example, will cost more than moving a small one up a flight of stairs. Below is an estimation:

| 2 (3 stairs included) | Spinet, small apartment piano | $390 |
| 2 (3 stairs included) | Heavy baby grand piano | $450 |

The risks of moving a piano include damages from improper handling or environmental changes. Also, if proper equipment and techniques aren't used, lack of experience can lead to physical injury to the people involved. Inexperienced movers, such as floors, walls, and doorways, can damage property.
Our experienced movers will take even long-distance piano moving flawlessly.Before moving a piano with our company, providing specific details or concerns about your instrument is essential. This could include its type, make, model, age, and any existing damage. Depending on this information, we will offer you the best terms; in some cases, grand piano moving may be required.
We also need to know the locations for pickup and delivery: are there any stairs, landings, narrow doorways, or tight corners? This information helps us plan the move and ensure we have the right equipment and team members.
Finally, you should understand the cost and what is included in it, our insurance coverage, and our policies for scheduling and cancellations. We want to make sure the entire process is transparent and straightforward.
The legs of a grand piano are always removed for moving, but this typically isn't the case for an upright piano. However, some kinds of spinnet pianos have legs that can be detached.
It generally takes at least two to four people to move one piano safely. However, the exact number depends on the piano's size and weight, the path and distance of the move, and the movers' physical capability and qualifications.
To protect your piano when moving, it is often wrapped in shrink+ thick moving blankets and secured with straps on a piano skid board. The piano is moved using dollies to minimize the risk of injury or damage. Moving blankets are also used underneath to protect the floor. Also, one of the best protection is experience and adequate physical shape.
Improper piano moving can indeed cause damage. Potential damage includes scratches or dents to the piano's finish, broken legs or pedals, and internal damage to the strings, hammers, or soundboard.
Yes, a piano has to be tuned after moving. Changes in location, transportation, piano position, and environment can affect the tension of the piano's strings, leading to changes in sound. It's generally recommended to wait a week after the move to allow the piano to acclimate before tuning.
Moving a piano is a challenging task that requires exceptional moving skills, experience, physical strength, special equipment, and techniques. Pianos have delicate internal components and awkward shapes. They are cumbersome but also very fragile. The cost can also reflect insurance coverage for potential damage. And also, distance matters: local piano moving is cheaper than long-distance transportation.
While it's technically possible for an upright piano to be laid on its back, it's not generally recommended. The internal mechanisms of a piano are not designed to withstand the weight of the piano when positioned this way, which could cause damage.
Hiring professional piano movers is highly recommended and advised because they have specialized training, equipment, and experience. We understand the complexities of moving a piano and how to minimize risks. We also provide insurance, which offers financial protection in the unlikely event of damage. Save your efforts, health, and money by hiring local community movers.

We use moving blankets under the piano board to drag it safely without scratching the floor. If the piano board is made of wood, it can still make scratches when touching the floor or tile. Also, we build our own custom-made heavy-duty moving dollies with rubber wheels only. Pianos are heavy so that plastic wheels can leave dents and scratches on the floor.
It is not recommended to do it yourself. Improper techniques and a lack of experience can lead to serious injuries or even death. Moving the piano upright or downstairs is handled with great care. We use special piano skidboards, custom-made dolly, strong straps, and padded blankets, and our experienced team guides the piano step-by-step.
