Shipping Cost from Mumbai to Bowie, Maryland

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.

Wrap the Piano in Blankets. Make sure that every part of the piano is wrapped and there are no parts that are exposed. Secure the Piano to the Side of the Truck. Don't let the piano slide around the truck. Secure it to the side of the truck using straps or another method that will ensure it doesn't move.

Yes, piano movers are almost always worth it, especially for valuable or grand pianos, because they have the specialized equipment, training, and insurance to safely handle the instrument, protecting it, your home, and yourself from costly damage or injury that DIY moves often cause. While it's an added expense, it prevents potentially much higher costs for repairs or structural damage, saving time, stress, and potential financial loss in the long run, say this piano moving blog.
