Piano moving costs reflect the precision required for safe relocation. Factors that affect pricing include the size and type of the piano. The distance of the move also matters. It’s crucial to have accessibility at both sites as well. Any special needs for handling or storage can affect the price. Professional piano movers consider everything from the number of steps and tight corners to the need for specialized equipment. According to MoveBuddha, “Local piano moves could cost as little as $150. However, moving a piano long-distance can cost as much as $2.50–$10 per mile, depending on the company’s rates. On average, most homeowners spend between $258 and $573 for piano moving services.”

Pianos are sensitive to change. Factors such as temperature shifts, humidity, and movement can all affect your piano’s tune, even with expert handling. Millers Music explains, “We recommend a regularly used piano be tuned once every six months. This ensures the piano is in tune and allows the technician to perform a general health check and make necessary adjustments to the action and tone.” Pro tip: let your piano settle into its new space before scheduling a tuning.
Mountain Moving and Storage protects your piano’s perfect pitch every step of the way. Shannon Webb, our General Manager, says “We have moved thousands of pianos. We understand that keeping your piano in tune is important. This protection starts early. It also continues long after delivery.” Our climate-controlled trucks and expert handling keep your piano’s tune stable.
