Frequently Asked Questions

Can 1/2 Price Movers move any type of piano?

Yes. Our professional piano moving team handles all piano types including upright pianos, baby grand pianos, grand pianos, player pianos, and digital pianos of all sizes and weights.

Why do I need a specialist to move a piano?

Pianos are among the most technically challenging items to move — they are extremely heavy, unevenly balanced, and contain delicate internal mechanisms. Improper moving can damage the piano, injure movers, and damage floors and walls. Our specialized piano team uses proper equipment and technique to move your piano safely every time.

How do you protect a piano during a move?

Our piano moving process includes:

Specialized piano boards and skids for grand pianos
Heavy-duty piano straps and securing equipment
Professional moving blankets and padding
Custom dollies designed for piano weight distribution
Team lift technique with experienced trained movers

Can you move a grand piano up or down stairs?

Yes. Our piano team is specifically trained for staircase piano moves, including up and down multi-flight staircases in NYC brownstones and walk-up buildings. We assess the space in advance and plan the safest approach.

Do you tune the piano after moving it?

Piano tuning is not included in our moving service. We recommend waiting 2–4 weeks after a move before tuning, as pianos need to acclimate to their new environment’s temperature and humidity. We are happy to recommend a professional piano tuner if needed.

How far in advance should I book a piano move?

Piano moves require specialized crew scheduling. We recommend booking your piano move at least 2 weeks in advance, or earlier during peak moving season (May–September).

How much does it cost to move a piano in NYC?

Piano moving costs depend on the piano type, size, weight, number of stairs, and distance. Contact us for a free piano moving quote — we will assess all details and provide a guaranteed flat-rate price.

Is a piano move included in a regular moving package?

Piano moving requires our specialized team and equipment and is quoted separately from standard residential moving. Please mention your piano when requesting your initial quote so we can include it properly.
