Pianos are dense, awkward and easy to damage — most local movers won't touch them. Specialty piano movers use skid boards, ramps and piano dollies, and price by piano type, stairs and distance.
| Type | Typical weight | Local estimate |
|---|---|---|
| Digital / keyboard piano | 50–150 lb | $105–$145 |
| Upright / console piano | 300–500 lb | $185–$265 |
| Baby grand piano | 500–650 lb | $250–$355 |
| Grand piano | 600–1,000 lb | $310–$435 |
