Got2Move releases a new guide examining the topic of DIY piano relocation, addressing safety protocols and preparation strategies. The resource is written to help cost-conscious piano owners assess the risks involved and execute informed moves while avoiding professional fees.
-- Got2Move has published a guide designed to help homeowners and renters relocate pianos independently while minimizing risks to both the instrument and those handling it. The document addresses growing demand among cost-conscious individuals seeking to avoid professional moving fees by providing safety-focused methodologies for transporting heavy pianos without catastrophic damage.

Industry data puts the general cost of professional piano moving at between $40 and $100 per hour, explains the organization. Total figures tend to vary based on factors such as piano type, distance, and accessibility challenges - but Got2Move notes that high prices are justified given the immense physical labor involved.
Even still, the financial burden continues to motivate self-relocation attempts as homeowners weigh the desire to save money against the need to protect their valuable instruments. In response, Got2Move’s guide directly addresses this dilemma by equipping DIY movers with the knowledge required to execute safe, informed relocations.
Namely, it tackles a question that’s often asked by those facing such tasks: exactly how many people are needed to move pianos. And the answers depend entirely on the specific piano type, says Got2Move. Pianos vary dramatically in weight and complexity, with each design demanding different personnel requirements and handling techniques.
As explained in the guide, spinet models can weigh 200 to 400 pounds, while semi-concert instruments often exceed 900 pounds. Console and studio pianos usually require two to three movers, whereas classic uprights and baby grands necessitate four or more individuals - especially when stairs or narrow passages are involved.
Following such guidance is paramount, warns Got2Move - whose document highlights the risk of physical dangers and serious injuries such as back strains, crushed fingers, muscle tears, and broken bones from slips or falls. Moreover, improper techniques frequently result in scratched floors, dented walls, and damaged door frames - and most costly of all, damage to the piano itself. Such financial consequences often exceed the cost of hiring professionals.
For example, soundboard repairs can surpass $1,000, while internal mechanism damage might call for even costlier restoration. Accordingly, Got2Move describes informed preparation as necessary for anyone considering self-relocation - with a single mistake potentially negating any savings achieved by avoiding professional services.
And while acknowledging that DIY approaches can save money, Got2Move emphasizes that not all circumstances warrant the risk to property or person. Should readers decide to hire professional help for difficult piano moving scenarios, the company cites its own crew’s experience in handling heavy instruments of all types as part of residential moves throughout California.
