Shipping Cost from Port-au-Prince to Tucson, Arizona

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 makes moving an upright piano possible for DIY, saving cost, but hiring professional piano movers is far superior for safety, preventing costly damage to the piano or home (especially with stairs/tight spots), and ensuring proper handling. While a dolly simplifies short, flat moves, professionals have specialized gear (like stair climbers) and expertise for complex situations, making them worth the investment for valuable instruments or difficult moves, notes.

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)
