How much does it cost to move an upright piano?

As a guide, moving an upright piano on the ground floor or with a lift starts from around €80. Upper floors without a lift or window hoisting incur a surcharge. We provide a free, no-obligation quote — just fill in the form with your details.

How long does it take to move an upright piano?

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

Do I need to do anything before the movers arrive?

No preparation is needed on your part. We recommend clearing the path to the piano and making sure the stairwell is free of obstacles. We handle all wrapping, any leg removal and mechanical securing.

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

This is a common situation in older apartment buildings. We solve it with a façade-mounted moving lift and hoist the piano through a window or balcony. We always check measurements beforehand and agree the method with you.

Is the piano insured during the move?

Yes, our standard liability coverage applies to every job. For antique or very high-value instruments we recommend additional insurance through your own insurer.

When should I have the piano tuned after the move?

Tuning professionals recommend waiting 4–6 weeks after the move for the piano to acclimatise to the new room's humidity and temperature. In winter, when temperature changes are greater, tuning may be needed a little sooner.

How we move an upright piano

Every upright piano move is planned individually. Our approach depends on the instrument's weight, floor level and access conditions.

Specialist Piano Dolly

We use professional piano dollies with adjustable height and soft straps that protect the instrument and your flooring. The dolly allows controlled movement even through narrow hallways.

Piano Skids on Staircases

When moving an upright piano up or down stairs we fit specialist piano skids — metal rails that allow the instrument to slide smoothly and safely, fully controlled at every step.

Packing & Protection

Before the move we wrap the piano in thick blankets and stretch film, lock the keys to prevent slamming and secure the action against vibration during transport.

Window & Balcony Hoisting

If the stairwell is too narrow or the lift too small, we hoist the upright piano through a window or balcony using a façade-mounted electric moving lift. This is often the safest option in older buildings.

Placement & Setup

Once at the new location we unwrap the piano and position it precisely where you want it. We advise on the best spot to avoid humidity and temperature extremes.
