Shipping Cost from Ankara to Tashkent

Moving a piano costs roughly $150-$650 locally and $500-$2,500+ for long distances, depending heavily on the piano's type (grand is more), weight, distance, and obstacles like stairs, which add significant fees. Expect to pay more for larger pianos (concert grands) and complex moves involving many steps or tight spaces, potentially increasing costs to several thousand dollars, while simple upright moves are at the lower end.

When using services offered by local piano movers, such cost should be around $ 200-500. The transport will be different when moving between countries or states but still using car transport. Taking into account the long distance, the cost of shipping the piano abroad will be about $ 1000-3000.

Yes, you almost always need a professional piano mover because pianos are extremely heavy (hundreds of pounds), delicate, and prone to expensive damage, requiring specialized equipment (dollies, skid boards, ramps, climate control) and expertise to handle stairs, tight corners, and finishes without injury or destruction, making DIY attempts risky even for uprights.
