Piano Removal in Louisa, Kentucky

To get rid of a piano for free, list it on Craigslist, Freecycle, or Facebook Marketplace as "free for pickup," targeting local schools, churches, or charities that might take it. For playable pianos, organizations like Piano Adoption, The Beethoven Foundation, or local music programs may offer free pickup; otherwise, use a local charity or community group that accepts large item donations, or explore DIY repurposing or dismantling for recycling.

Check to see if your local trash or junk removal service, charities, and recycling facility accepts pianos or offers piano disposal service. Schedule a pickup time with piano movers.

Moving a piano costs roughly $150–$650 locally and $500–$3,000+ long-distance, varying significantly by piano type (upright vs. grand), distance, stairs/obstacles, and movers' expertise, with grands and complex moves costing much more. Expect extra fees for difficult access (stairs add $5-$10 per step) and be prepared for post-move tuning costs.

Moving a piano isn't like relocating regular furniture. These delicate instruments weigh between 300-1,300 pounds and contain over 1,000 moving parts that can be damaged by improper handling. The cost reflects the specialized equipment, trained crews, and careful planning required to transport your piano safely.
