The cost of piano move

Since we are talking about Iowa which is a very specific market I would recommend you to try getting several quotes from piano movers (you can start by requesting some quotes here).
In general, piano movers have specific rates for different types of pianos, although in some cases those moves are handled like regular local moves with additional piano fee.
Make sure you only hire movers that can prove a history of piano moves and that come with special piano moving equipment. Calling music stores that sell pianos for mover references is also not a bad idea.
Good luck with your move,
