Piano shipping costs and price comparison
Compare the price of piano transport and grand piano transport costs
A piano transport in Switzerland is often, with good access, in the non-binding guideline range of CHF 350–700. The type of instrument, distance, floor, stairs, elevator and access determine the actual price; sharp turns and lack of access are the main cost factors. Only the offer is authentic.
How much does it cost to transport a grand piano? Much more than a piano, because the feet and the pedal mechanism must be dismantled, the instrument secured on a transport chassis then reassembled at its destination. The local guideline ranges are CHF 700–1’200 for a short grand piano and CHF 1’100–2’000 for a concert grand piano. Transporting a piano across several cantons therefore costs more.
For a true piano transport price comparison, all providers need the same information. Only then do the quotes show the differences in price, insurance, carrying route and protective equipment, and not simply different hypotheses.

FAQ about Transport de piano
Answers on prices, process and points to check in quotes – especially for Transport de piano.
How much does it cost to transport a piano to Switzerland?
Local transport often costs CHF350–700 if access is good. Narrow stairs, additional floors, a furniture lift, greater distances or a grand piano increase the price. For a fair comparison, all providers must receive the same information on instrument, departure, arrival, access and date.
How much does it cost to transport a grand piano?
It costs more than an upright piano, because the legs and pedal board are disassembled, the instrument is placed on a transport chassis then reassembled. Local benchmarks: CHF 700–1’200 for a half-grand piano and CHF 1’100–2’000 for a concert piano; interregionally, both are higher. Dismantling, protection, assembly and insurance must appear as separate items in the offer.
Should the piano be tuned after transport?
Not necessarily right away. Changes in temperature and humidity can influence the agreement. Let the instrument acclimatize first, then arrange the timing with a piano maker. The agreement is generally not included in the transport price.
When is a furniture lift or exterior crane needed?
When instrument, turning radius or staircase width do not allow safe transport in the building. Photos and measurements of the entrance, stairwell, elevator and window or balcony access help the service provider check feasibility and additional costs.
How to find a serious company for piano transport in Switzerland?
Check demonstrable experience with piano and grand piano, suitable transport equipment, civil operating liability and a written offer. Price, personnel, protection, dismantling, portage route, insurance and deductible must be clear. Document the condition of the instrument before delivery.
