Shipping Cost from Tallinn to Copenhagen

On average, you'll pay between $2,000 to $5,000 for overseas shipping of an upright piano. This price typically includes basic packing, transportation, and standard insurance. However, costs fluctuate significantly based on the specific destination and chosen shipping method.

A piano dolly is essential for moving an upright piano yourself, but hiring professional piano movers is almost always better and safer, especially for valuable instruments, because pros use specialized equipment (dollies, ramps, straps, blankets) and have the training to handle the extreme weight (hundreds to over a thousand pounds) and awkward shape, preventing costly damage and serious injury, which can outweigh the cost of movers. A dolly alone isn't enough; you need strong people, a truck with a ramp, padding, and expertise to avoid accidents.

If your piano has any value left in it you probably don't want to move it yourself. It seems very silly to save a few hundred dollars on moving a piano, when the piano you're moving is worth $20000. It's also very important to keep in mind that any scratches or cosmetic damages make your piano lose value rapidly.
