Piano removalists Melbourne
Specialist piano movers, not general removalists
A piano is the heaviest, most delicate and often most treasured thing in a home. For more than 15 years Victorian Piano Transport has moved nothing but pianos and keyboard instruments, which means every crew member knows how a grand comes apart, how an upright behaves on stairs and how a pianola’s mechanism needs to be secured.
We work with skid boards, piano trolleys, ramps and thick padded blankets so the weight is carried by equipment rather than backs. That is safer for your piano, your floors and walls, and our team.
Melbourne’s piano retailers, tuners and restoration workshops trust us with new and pre-owned instruments every week. Whether you are moving house, renovating, buying a second-hand piano or sending one to a restorer, you get the same care.

Read them all on GoogleThis company 's service was wonderful. On time courteous and efficient. They took great care on moving my upright piano down a tricky flight of stairs. I would highly recommend them
Gabriel and Mich were fantastic! They responded promptly to my inquiries, arrived right on time, and moved our baby grand piano with expert care. They're friendly, experienced, and reasonably priced. Highly recommend!
Just had my dad's precious baby grand piano relocated and the guys did an amazing job. So easy to deal with and highly skilled and professional. We have a large number of steps at our property and they negotiated them with ease and care!!
We are incredibly grateful to the team today. Moving an upright piano is no small task, and despite getting stuck in the lift at one point, they remained calm, professional, and absolutely determined to get the job done. They truly worked like heroes to bring our piano safely up to level one! Their strength, persistence, and positive attitude made a stressful situation so much easier for us. Highly recommend — thank you again for your amazing effort!
I couldn't be happier with the piano moving service from Gabrielle and his team. Clear communication, on time, efficient and handled the piano with great care. Thank you!!
Excellent job on a delivery piano to our apartment. Great communication and friendly service. Would recommend it everyone without any hesitation.
I called these guys at 7pm on a Friday evening with an urgent request to move an old upright piano that would have been trashed otherwise. They were able to sort things out for me very quickly and the piano was moved efficiently a few days later. Competitive rate too. Very happy!
Gabriel did an excellent job moving a piano that we had bought. From organising the job to being prompt on the day through to the utmost care in moving the piano. Hopefully we won’t have to move a piano again for a while but I wouldn’t hesitate to give him a call if I had to!
These guys did an amazing job of moving our piano in, when all the other movers said it couldn't be done! Well worth the money. They wheeled the piano down a laneway, up a 1m high concrete step and up a steep grassy slope to get it in and no damage to piano at all. Very impressed.
Gabriel came and moved my Piano from Geelong to Ballarat. 25 steps at the drop off and I had not seen the place and thought it was flat, Gabriel did it no fuss and only for a small extra fee. Life saver and a great bloke
Gabriel and his team were friendly, professional, punctual and did an outstanding job. They moved my upright piano into my new apartment up on the second floor. It was a tight and difficult stairwell and they completed the job perfectly. I highly recommend Gabriel and the team at Victorian Piano Transport!
These guys are brilliant. Gabriel moved my (extremely heavy) German piano with care and ease. The previous movers I used before struggled with this piano – I couldn’t believe how calm, efficient and seamless the whole experience was with Victorian Piano Transport. Gabriel’s an absolute pro and I will definitely be calling him for any future piano moves! Thanks again Gabriel and team.
Gabriel and his team at Victorian Piano Transport are amazing. They went above and beyond to move three of our pianos to our music school. They transported the pianos to our new location and used a crane to safely get the pianos to the first floor of our building. Very fair prices as well. Would definitely recommend.
Gabriel and Zak were absolutely wonderful, polite and intelligent. Very careful, caring about my 2 Steinways to be moved from rental property to our renovated house with steps in both places. The price was very good. The service was excellent. I would highly recommend this company. If you are looking for a piano move-this is the one to go with. I did my search before I have chosen this one, no regret. Many thanks again, Gabriel
How it works
Our piano moving process
Quote and access check
Tell us the piano, both addresses and any stairs. We confirm a fixed price and the right crew size.
Protect the room
Floors and door frames are covered before the piano moves an inch.
Wrap and secure
Lids locked, legs and pedals removed where needed, the case padded and strapped to a skid board.
Careful transport
Loaded by ramp or tail lift and tied down upright in our padded vehicle.
Placement
Carried in, reassembled and set exactly where you want it, level and steady.
Final check
We check keys, pedals and casters with you, and can arrange a tuner once it settles.
The Victorian Piano Transport difference
Quality you can see in the details
Most piano damage happens in small moments: a leg caught on a door frame, a piano rolled on its own casters, a strap that was never tightened. We remove those moments with a routine that never changes, whatever the size of the job.
- Lids, fallboards and pedals secured before the piano is lifted
- Grands dismantled and moved on a padded skid board
- Every piano strapped upright in the truck, with nothing stacked against it
- Reassembled, levelled and checked with you before we leave

Questions
Piano moving FAQs
How do you make sure my piano is not damaged?
We use specialist equipment, skid boards, piano trolleys, ramps and padded blankets, and a set routine for securing every part of the instrument. We are also fully licensed and insured.
Can you move a piano through a narrow staircase?
In most cases, yes. We assess the stairs, landings and turns when you book and bring the right trolley and crew size.
Do you offer tuning after the move?
We work closely with trusted Melbourne tuners and technicians and can arrange a tuning once your piano has settled, usually after two to three weeks.
What areas do you cover?
All of metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria, including Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, the Mornington Peninsula and Gippsland.
How much does it cost to move a piano in Melbourne?
