Pianos come in many shapes and sizes, but two things they have in common are their heft and delicacy. Whether you’re moving a vintage spinet piano that you inherited from your grandmother, or you are relocating a fresh-from-the-showroom concert grand, you’ll need experts who have experience moving valuable instruments. You’ll not only save your back, but you’ll maintain your piano’s condition when you use professional interstate piano movers. Moving your piano long distance is a very different scenario than moving it across town. Not only do our interstate moving partners have the skill and training to safely move your piano out of your home, they know how to load and transport it properly so it will happily survive a move over hundreds of miles. Put your mind at rest when it’s time to move your piano out-of-state. Click on Get Quote and Ian’s Interstate Movers will provide you with up to four free estimates.
Average long-distance piano shipping costs are between $600 to $2000. Pricing depends on the moving distance; type, size, and make of your piano; when you want it moved; specialized equipment; plus, any obstacles the moving team must navigate such as stairs, narrow tight corners, difficult terrain to cross, or elevators.
Piano transport is a complicated process that requires a trained and experienced moving company. Your piano movers will show up on moving day with a four-wheel piano dolly, skid board, locking straps, moving pads, and blankets. They’ll also bring their tools to dismantle your piano if necessary. Our interstate moving providers offer the following piano moving services:
While smaller pianos are moved in one piece, baby grands, parlor grands, and concert grands require disassembly. To prevent damage, expert movers know the essential sequence involved in dismantling a piano.
First, the movers will make sure the keyboard lid is closed and locked to prevent damage to the keys. The pedal assembly and music rack are then removed and carefully wrapped. The body of the instrument is covered with moving pads that are secured with moving wrap to prevent any scratches.
Ian’s Interstate Movers will connect you with the best piano and organ movers who are trained and experienced in moving valuable instruments across state lines. Just be sure your piano or organ mover is insured and licensed for your piano’s interstate relocation. Ask if you need to purchase additional insurance or speak with your insurance agent to make sure you have enough coverage.
If you need temporary piano storage during the process of your move, our moving partners can arrange storage-in-transit. They can also arrange permanent piano storage. Be sure to verify with your mover that your piano or organ will be stored in a climate-controlled environment.
Your piano movers will use the same equipment and process to carefully move and reassemble your piano inside your home. While the piano is still on the truck, be sure to tell the movers exactly where you want your piano or organ set up. They’ll determine the best access path from the truck to inside your home, then reassemble your piano exactly where you specify.
Here are some tips for ensuring your favorite musical instrument makes it to its destination in one piece.
With the help of moving professionals, transporting your piano to another state may be easier than you think. For free piano moving quotes, contact Ian’s Interstate Movers today!
