Factors That Affect Piano Moving Cost

To calculate your piano moving cost, we consider the following:

1. Type of Piano

Different pianos require different handling:

Upright piano - easier to move
Grand piano - requires dismantling and extra care

2. Floor Level & Accessibility

This is one of the biggest cost factors:

Lift access available = lower cost
Staircase only = higher cost
Narrow spaces = more complex handling

3. Distance Between Locations

Same building = lower cost
Across Singapore = higher cost

4. Complexity of the Move

Additional challenges may include:

Tight corners and narrow corridors
Multi-storey landed houses
Difficult loading/unloading areas

5. Hoisting/ Crane Service

For difficult access situations:

No lift access
Staircase too narrow
High-floor landed properties

Crane lifting ensures safe and efficient movement.

Type and Size of Piano

The cost varies depending on the types of piano. Larger and heavier models require more manpower, equipment and careful handling. Customers are encouraged to provide piano measurements:

Upright Pianos: Height (in cm)
Grand Pianos: Length (in feet)

Upright piano size and height measurement diagram for moving and storage reference

Upright pianos are measured by their overall height, from the floor to the very top of the lid. Measurements for upright pianos can be given in centimeters or inches.

Grand pianos are measured by their overall length (all grand pianos are approximately the same height and width, so you only need to measure length). Close the lid of the piano completely when measuring, from one end of the keyboard to the end of the piano’s curve. The accuracy is to get the longest measurement of your grand piano and it can be given in centimeters or feet.
