Digital piano moving cost, movers & removals companies

by Andrea
(US)

Hi,

Need suggestions on digital piano moving cost, movers & removals companies!!!

I own a Roland DP-990RF digital piano and for some personal reasons I need to move out of the city. I need to relocate and I was planning to take my Roland piano as well.

But then the quote I received from a couple of piano moving companies makes me have a rethink on whether to take my piano along, though I would love to do that.

The piano moving cost estimates from those two companies are in the range $800 to $900 (US dollars), for a distance of around 230-240 miles.

I personally feel it is too much to pay, so wanted to have some suggestions on some acceptable alternatives.

I would ideally like to take my Roland DP-990RF digital piano along, but if the piano moving cost is going to be so much, I may even have to think of selling it off as the last resort.

Can I have some ideas please as I really want to take my Roland DP-990 digital piano along.

Thanks.

Have you checked if your Roland digital piano can be disassembled? It will be much easier to move it if it can be disassembled.

Even if it doesn't look that easy to be disassembled, usually be removing a few screws you can remove the main body from its stand.

Once you do that, you can just add some padding on all sides, put it in a truck or van and you are all set to take it along.

I know people who have moved their Yamaha CVP pianos on their own.

Digital pianos, are just like any other expensive consumer electronic items, and as such do no require special handling while moving, unlike acoustic pianos.

Hi Andrea,

You need to realize that a digital piano is much lighter and the sound produced is through samples so the sound is not sensitive or dependent on moving.

Besides, if you try to sell your piano in haste, you may not get a good price for your piano.

The quote you have got seems to be on the higher side so I would definitely look at alternatives to move it on my own.

You can even look at hiring any company that moves expensive furniture, they should be able to do this job. Just ask them to be careful in case your Roland digital piano has a glossy black finish, it needs more care.
