Q:How much to move a piano 500 miles?
Moving a piano 500 miles typically costs between $700 to $2,500+, depending heavily on the piano type (upright vs. grand), size, weight, accessibility (stairs add significant cost), and if crating or climate control is needed, with per-mile rates around $2.50-$10 plus base fees, plus extra charges for stairs, distance, and special care.
Q:What is the best time of year to move a piano?
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.
Q:Are piano movers worth it?
While some opt to move their pianos themselves or hire general moving companies to cut costs, this route often leads to major frustrations and damages that actually cost more in the long run. Professional piano movers are worth investing in for the highest level of care, expertise, and stress-free service.
