Piano Removal in Topeka, Indiana

If you're in the states and it's in great condition, you can donate it to the Beethoven Foundation or Pianos for Education. Otherwise check any local charities and see if they have public pianos and who's in charge of them. Nursing homes/hospice or senior centers might want it for free.

The thing is, pianos are extraordinarily heavy. I would not recommend for anyone who has ever had any back problems to move any piano under any circumstances, even moving a piano from one part of a room to another. You can do damage if you don't know how to lift properly even if you have a strong back.

Start by calling your local piano store or piano service professional to get an idea of its value. ... Sell it online. ... Trade it in for a new, smaller model or electric keyboard. ... Consign it. ... List it on a piano forum for “adoption”. ... Donate it to a charitable organization.

Moving an upright piano typically costs $150–$650 for local moves (under 50 miles, often with stairs) and $500–$2,500 for long-distance moves, depending heavily on stairs, distance, and piano size, with specialist movers charging more for complex jobs involving multiple flights or challenging terrain. Expect $150-$350 locally and $500-$800 for longer distances for standard uprights, but be prepared for higher costs with difficult access or larger, heavier pianos.
