Upright and grand piano moving with post-move tuning · S$200–S$800 · Islandwide Singapore
Moving a piano requires specialist equipment, technique, and care to avoid damage to both the instrument and your property. Piano Repair Singapore coordinates piano relocation services in Singapore for upright and grand pianos — with the added benefit of post-move tuning by the same team. We recommend combining the move and tuning appointment for convenience and cost efficiency.
Piano moving in Singapore is complicated by HDB stairwells, narrow corridor lifts, and high-floor locations. We assess each move individually and quote based on the specific access conditions at both origin and destination locations.
Board and strap removal for stairwells; piano board and trolley for flat moves. Team of 2–3 depending on piano size and access. Padding and protection of piano cabinet during transport.
Lid removal, music desk removal, leg removal. Plate and strapping on moving board. Grand piano cradle for transport. Re-assembly at destination. Team of 3+ for all grand moves.
Tuning 2–4 weeks after the move, once the piano has settled in its new environment. Combined move + tuning packages available. See Piano Tuning After Moving.

Piano moving within Singapore costs S$200–S$350 for an upright piano (same floor or with lift access), and S$400–S$800 for a grand piano depending on size. Stair carries cost an additional S$80–S$120 per floor. Craning or special access situations are quoted individually. Post-move tuning (recommended after all moves) costs S$120–S$180.
We recommend waiting 2–4 weeks after a move before tuning. Moving disturbs string tension and repositions the instrument; allowing it to settle in its new location and acclimatise to the new room's humidity before tuning produces a more stable result. See our dedicated page on piano tuning after moving in Singapore for more detail.
Yes. A piano should always be tuned after a move — even a short one within the same building. Moving disturbs string tension, changes the instrument's position relative to humidity sources, and subjects the strings to vibration. Post-move tuning restores pitch stability and is an essential step after any relocation.
Yes, grand pianos can be moved up stairs, but this requires a skilled team with appropriate equipment. Grand pianos must be partially disassembled (lid, music desk, and one or more legs removed) before a stair carry. We assess each move individually and quote based on access difficulty, stairwell width, and landing configuration.
