How much does it cost to move a piano?

The price depends on the type of piano (upright, grand), the floor level, distance and access conditions. As a guide, a straightforward upright piano move within the city starts from around €80. We provide a free, no-obligation quote — just fill in the form.

How long does piano moving take?

Moving an upright piano within the same building usually takes 1–2 hours. When window hoisting is required, allow 2–4 hours including setup. Long-distance transport time depends on the distance.

Do I need to prepare anything before the movers arrive?

No — our team handles everything. We recommend clearing a path to the piano and checking that the stairwell is free of obstacles. We take care of wrapping, disassembly of any legs or lyre, and securing the action.

What if the piano won't fit through the door or stairwell?

This is common in older buildings. We solve it by using a façade-mounted moving lift to hoist the piano through a window or balcony opening. We always check dimensions in advance and agree the best approach with you.

Is the piano insured during the move?

Our liability coverage is included in every job. For particularly valuable instruments (antique pianos, concert grands) we recommend additional insurance through your insurer — we're happy to advise.

When should I tune the piano after moving?

Piano technicians recommend waiting 4–6 weeks for the instrument to acclimatise to the new humidity and temperature before tuning. If the move involved a significant temperature change (e.g. in winter), tuning may be needed sooner.

Moja skúsenosť so sťahovaním: Movex vs. SofoServis. SofoServis jednoznačne vyhráva — profesionálny prístup, komunikácia na úrovni a skvelý tím.

What's included in our piano moving service?

We handle all types of pianos — upright pianos, grand pianos and baby grands. Each move is planned individually based on the instrument's weight, size and access conditions.

Upright Piano

Upright pianos typically weigh 200–300 kg. We use specialist piano dollies with height adjustment and soft straps to protect both the instrument and your floors. On staircases we fit piano skids for a controlled descent or ascent.

Grand & Baby Grand Piano

Grand pianos are the most challenging to move — some concert grands weigh over 500 kg. We disassemble the pedal lyre and lid, wrap the instrument in protective blankets, and transport it on a specialist grand piano board.

Packing & Protection

Before any move we wrap the piano in thick furniture blankets and stretch wrap, secure the keys to prevent slamming, and brace the action mechanism against vibration.

Window & Balcony Hoisting

When stairwells are too narrow or a lift can't accommodate the instrument, we hoist the piano through a window or balcony using a façade-mounted moving lift — safer than forcing it through unsuitable spaces.

Placement at the New Location

After delivery we carefully unwrap the piano and position it exactly where you want it. We advise keeping it away from radiators and damp walls to protect the soundboard.

Tuning Referral After the Move

Every piano needs to acclimatise and be tuned after relocation. On request we can refer you to an experienced piano tuner so your instrument is performance-ready as soon as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions About Piano Moving

Nájdite odpovede na najčastejšie otázky o našich službách

Attempting a DIY piano move risks injury, damage to the instrument, scratched floors and damaged walls — and in the worst case a dangerous fall on the stairs. A piano is not just heavy; it's a delicate mechanism of hundreds of parts that can be damaged by a single jolt or incorrect tilt.

Our company has the right equipment, trained staff and liability insurance to carry out the move safely and efficiently.
