Moving a piano a long distance

If you like the piano enough to want to keep it, get a professional mover, you won’t be sorry. If the piano is not particularly expensive or of sentimental value, I would recommend selling it where you are (sounds like the OP may be able to sell it to the home buyer, which is a win-win) and buying something there. It isn’t like moving a car, when you move a piano the movement itself, the vibration when it is driven down the road, changes in temperature and humidity, can all effect it, and if you move it yourself the likelyhood of issues will be higher than with a pro doing it (assuming they have experience with pianos, not just a mover:).
