Shipping Cost from Nouakchott to Kingston

A piano dolly is essential for moving an upright piano yourself, but hiring professional piano movers is almost always better and safer, especially for valuable instruments, because pros use specialized equipment (dollies, ramps, straps, blankets) and have the training to handle the extreme weight (hundreds to over a thousand pounds) and awkward shape, preventing costly damage and serious injury, which can outweigh the cost of movers. A dolly alone isn't enough; you need strong people, a truck with a ramp, padding, and expertise to avoid accidents.

The right time of year to move your piano depends on where you live. In general, cooler temperatures are best for moving a piano since extreme heat or cold can cause damage to the instrument. For instance, if you live in a hot climate, you may want to consider moving your piano in the cooler months.

The stresses placed on a piano when moving it will vary with the size and configuration of the piano, but they could cause some minor shift in the tuning ; especially if some of the tuning pins are not as tight as they should be. It is a good idea to have a piano tuned after moving it, but it is not a requirement.
