Shipping Cost from Yokohama to Manama

Moving a piano costs roughly $150-$650 locally and $500-$2,500+ for long distances, depending heavily on the piano's type (grand is more), weight, distance, and obstacles like stairs, which add significant fees. Expect to pay more for larger pianos (concert grands) and complex moves involving many steps or tight spaces, potentially increasing costs to several thousand dollars, while simple upright moves are at the lower end.

When using services offered by local piano movers, such cost should be around $ 200-500. The transport will be different when moving between countries or states but still using car transport. Taking into account the long distance, the cost of shipping the piano abroad will be about $ 1000-3000.

Yes, professional piano movers are almost always worth the cost, as they prevent serious damage to your expensive instrument, home, and yourself by using specialized equipment, expertise for tricky navigation (stairs, tight corners), and proper handling techniques, saving you potential repair costs and immense stress, even if it seems expensive upfront. DIY attempts risk injury, costly repairs (tuning, structural), and damage to floors/walls, often costing more in the long run.
