Piano Shipping Cost from Kingston to Nashville-Davidson, Tennessee

Moving a piano costs about $400 on average. However, costs vary depending on several factors, such as cost per mile (the starting price is about $50), the type of piano (a grand piano is typically high-priced), height and weight, ease of access, and the need for disassembly and reassembly.

A piano dolly helps, but hiring specialized piano movers is generally much better and safer than DIY with just a dolly because pianos are extremely heavy (often 1,000+ lbs) and require specialized equipment (like heavy-duty dollies, ramps, straps) and expertise to handle corners, stairs, and prevent damage to the instrument or injury to yourself, making pros worth the cost over potential expensive repairs or health issues.

No matter the season, there are ideal conditions for moving a piano. Aim to schedule your move when: Temperatures are steady between 68–72°F (20–22°C)
