Piano Shipping Cost from Accra to Luanda

Piano mover costs typically range from $200-$400 for a simple local upright move to $1,000-$2,000 for long-distance or grand pianos, with potential extra fees for stairs, elevators, or disassembly adding $5-$10 per step or $100-$200 for complex jobs, depending on the piano's size, distance, and logistical challenges like stairs or narrow hallways.

Yes, professional piano movers are almost always worth the cost, as they prevent serious damage to your expensive instrument, home, and yourself by using specialized equipment, expertise for tricky navigation (stairs, tight corners), and proper handling techniques, saving you potential repair costs and immense stress, even if it seems expensive upfront. DIY attempts risk injury, costly repairs (tuning, structural), and damage to floors/walls, often costing more in the long run.

For an upright piano, it's simple: Get a furniture dolly and two strong people. He the two strong people pick up the piano and place it on top of the furniture dolly. If you're moving the piano on a truck, cover the piano with a moving blanket and use a couple of wide nylon straps to strap it to the dolly.
