Piano Shipping Cost from New Delhi to Libreville

To move a piano long distance, hire specialized piano movers for safety and expertise, or if DIY, prepare thoroughly: secure the keyboard, wrap the entire piano in blankets/plastic, use a heavy-duty dolly / skid board, use straps for lifting and securing in a truck, and ensure it's level and tightly strapped in the moving vehicle, using professionals for disassembly/reassembly and tricky spots like stairs.

For an upright piano weighing 300-500 pounds, you can expect cross country piano movers to charge between $1,200 and $2,500 for a coast-to-coast move. Baby grand pianos in the 500-800 pound range typically cost $2,000 to $4,500 for interstate piano shipping.

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.
