In short:<\/strong> piano moving in Tallinn costs from 150 \u20ac for an upright piano and from 690 \u20ac for a grand piano, plus a floor fee. A piano must not be tilted or carried like ordinary furniture \u2013 it takes straps, a stair-climbing robot and an experienced team. Below we explain how piano moving works and what the price depends on.<\/p>\n

Piano moving prices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Job<\/th>\nPrice<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Upright piano transport in Tallinn<\/td>\nfrom 150 \u20ac<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Floor fee (upright piano)<\/td>\nfrom 50 \u20ac<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Grand piano transport and lifting<\/td>\nfrom 690 \u20ac<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Floor fee (grand piano, from the 2nd floor)<\/td>\nfrom 172 \u20ac<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Prices include VAT. The final price depends on the weight of the instrument, the floor, the width of the stairs and doors and whether the staircase is a spiral one. We always agree on the price in writing before the job.<\/p>\n

Why moving a piano is a special lift<\/h2>\n

An upright piano usually weighs 150\u2013300 kg, a grand piano even more. The weight is not evenly distributed, and the case, keyboard and action are delicate. Tilting it the wrong way or knocking it against a step can damage the instrument as well as the stairs and walls. That is why we treat piano moving as a special lift: we protect the case, use lifting straps and, if needed, a stair-climbing robot.<\/p>\n

How piano moving works<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Send photos and details<\/strong> \u2013 type of instrument, dimensions, both addresses, floors, lift and the width of the stairs and doors.<\/li>\n
  2. We agree on the price<\/strong> \u2013 if necessary, we inspect the site first.<\/li>\n
  3. We pack and protect<\/strong> \u2013 the case, keyboard lid and legs are covered; the legs and pedal lyre of a grand piano are removed.<\/li>\n
  4. We lift and transport<\/strong> \u2013 on the stairs we use straps or a stair-climbing robot, in the vehicle the piano is secured properly.<\/li>\n
  5. We install<\/strong> \u2013 we bring the piano to the desired spot and put the grand piano back on its legs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    After the move we recommend having the piano tuned a few weeks later, once it has adjusted to the temperature and humidity of the new room.<\/p>\n

    Our work: the \u201cHans Orntlich\u201d upright and an Estonia concert grand<\/h2>\n
    \n

    \u201cThe piano is called \u2018Hans Orntlich\u2019 \u2013 an old upright with a German-era frame and action, of which only a few were made in Estonia, even before the Tallinn Piano Factory was founded. So it is a heavy instrument, not a light one like the Soviet-era pianos.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    On the same day we also moved an Estonia concert grand. On the stairs we used a Pianopan stair-climbing robot, which moves a heavy instrument smoothly step by step \u2013 without damaging the piano, the stairs or the walls. Thank you for the cooperation to Vitali Vorinko, Heiki Parts and the N\u00f5mme District Government.<\/p>\n
