Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a specialty mover for a piano?
Yes. Pianos weigh 400–1,400 lbs and require a piano board (skid board), moving straps rated for the weight, and an experienced crew. General movers without piano experience risk damaging the instrument, the floors, or injuring themselves.
How much does it cost to tune a piano after moving?
Standard tuning runs $100–$200. If the piano is significantly out of tune (common after a long-distance move), a pitch raise may be needed first, bringing the total to $200–$400. Budget for at least one tuning post-move.
Can a piano be moved in a regular moving truck?
Technically yes, but it's not recommended. Specialty piano movers use climate-controlled vehicles and proper securing systems. In Florida's heat, a piano stored in a hot truck for hours can cause soundboard swelling and cracking.
