How Much Does It Cost to Move a Piano in Scarsdale?

Piano moving cost in Scarsdale breaks down by these variables:

Piano type: upright (studio/console/full upright, 300–700 lbs) — base rate $250–$375. Baby grand (500–800 lbs) — base rate $350–$500. Concert grand (800–1,200 lbs) — $600–$900+. Larger pianos require more crew members and more preparation time at both ends.

Floor access: ground-floor to ground-floor is the base rate. Each flight of stairs adds $75–$150 depending on stair width, turn angles, and whether a landing allows rest points. Many Scarsdale colonials have a living room piano on the first floor with manageable stair access; older split-levels or homes with spiral staircases are harder and priced accordingly.

Distance: local Scarsdale-to-Scarsdale or Scarsdale-to-Hartsdale/White Plains/Bronxville moves stay at the base rate. Moves to New York City or Connecticut involve transit time and typically run $400–$700 for an upright, $550–$900 for a baby grand.

Storage: if the piano needs to go into climate-controlled storage between origin and destination, expect $75–$150/month on top of the moving cost. Pianos are sensitive to temperature and humidity — standard storage units without climate control can damage the soundboard and tuning stability.

Extra services: professional piano tuning after a move is recommended and costs $150–$250 from a Westchester tuner. Even careful moves cause slight detuning from vibration and new humidity environment — budget for a post-move tuning.
