Types of pianos we move in NYC
We move pianos of all shapes and sizes. The cost of moving the piano depends on the size, shape, and type of piano you are planning to move. Here, we have covered the details of the types of pianos we move, and the cost will depend on the distance and complexity of the moving process.
We will give you the rough NY piano moving estimate for these types of the piano:
- Studio upright- One of the most popular kinds of percussion instruments among people living in New York condos due to its size.
- Standard upright- An older version of the studio upright model.
- Player upright- Very old and rare type, but as professional piano movers NYC, we have the expertise to move it.
- Baby grand- Quite difficult to move, requiring top pianoforte moving experts in New York to relocate it.
- Studio grand- Mostly staying in the studio for a long, long time. Luckily, because it would be hard to move without difficulties.
- Parlor grand- This is a hard job for piano movers in NYC, as it is the biggest and the toughest piano to relocate, even for a short distance.
Studio Upright
Particularly popular among apartment dwellers due to its compact size. This musical instrument can still weigh as much as 400 pounds. Transporting a Studio Upright within an apartment complex can still be done via elevators and stairs. The transport will require a minimum of two movers. The estimated cost of moving a studio upright piano in NY is around $550.
Standard Upright
This type can be best described as the “older brother” to the Studio Upright. Some models are almost 4 feet tall, and their weight can range between 600 and 800 pounds. A team of several professional piano movers is required to safely move a Standard Upright. The large models may require the removal of your door in order to maneuver it outside of the apartment. Local moving costs charged by piano movers in NYC for standard upright piano is around $650.
Player Upright
This is a rare, vintage type of piano. It has long gone out of style. Though, some people still own them. If you are one of them, note that moving it can be a daunting procedure. Their weight can sometimes exceed that of a Standard Upright by almost 100 pounds. This is why we will repeat once again that you must hire professional piano movers in NYC. The cost of moving an upright player piano can be around $650.
Baby Grand
Due to their unusual shape and considerable size, Baby Grand pianos can be difficult to move. Even by NYC piano movers with the lack of experience. Baby grand pianos require tall and wide openings to safely pass through. In many cases, this may require hiring a contractor in order to remove walls or doors. The estimated cost of moving a Baby Grand piano in New York is around $800.
Studio Grand
The Studio Grand is found mostly in professional studios. It exceeds their smaller counterpart in both weight and size. Most Studio Grands remain in their studio setting for the long term. Which is quite luckily, being that moving them can be extremely difficult. If, however, moving this model is absolutely unavoidable, a local NYC studio grand piano move can cost around $950.
Parlor Grand
Measuring between 5½ to 7 feet long and weighing in at up to a hefty 900 pounds, Moving Parlor Grands is a particularly challenging task. This challenge is reflected in the cost of moving them. The moving estimate would be around $950 for local New York piano moves.
