When it comes to relocating a piano in Melbourne you want more than just a furniture removalist — you need a specialist. At Piano Moves we specialise in piano moving, storage and servicing across Melbourne, Victoria and beyond. Whether you’re moving an upright piano, a grand, or need secure storage or tuning, we handle every step with precision, care and professionalism.

Why Choose a Specialist Piano Removalist in Melbourne?
The difference between regular movers & piano specialists
A piano isn’t just heavy — it’s a finely-tuned instrument with mechanics, soundboards, delicate parts and value (both musical and financial). Regular removal trucks may lack the equipment, knowledge or insurance to move a piano safely. According to the Steinway & Sons Buyer’s Guide:

“Use only professional piano movers who will have the equipment necessary to keep the instrument safe in travel.”

Our Melbourne-specific expertise
We’ve been moving pianos in Melbourne and Victoria since the 1980s.

We move more than 200 pianos every week across Victoria and South-East Queensland.

Fixed-price quotes, all inclusive, fully insured.

Handling of upright, baby-grand, grand, pianola and electric organ moves.

Why Melbourne clients trust us
Whether you live in the CBD, inner suburbs, or on the outer suburbs of Melbourne’s metropolitan region, we understand the unique challenges: narrow stair-wells, heritage homes, limited access, multi-storey apartments, and climate-considerations. Our specialist equipment (ramps, trolleys, stair-climbers, crane hire when needed) and trained crew ensure your instrument arrives safely and in tuneable condition.

Our Services: Comprehensive Piano Relocation & Care
1. Piano Moving & Removal in Melbourne
From room-to-room within a home, to interstate piano moves, we cover it all. Whether your piano is being moved inside Melbourne city, suburbs like Carlton, Fitzroy, Richmond, or across to Geelong, Mornington Peninsula or regional Victoria, we provide a tailored solution.
We perform a free onsite assessment (if required) to evaluate access, measure doorways, stairwells, lift access etc and then supply a fixed quote.

2. Piano Storage
Need secure short-term or long-term storage while moving house or during renovations? We offer alarm-monitored, climate-controlled piano storage in Melbourne.

3. Piano Hire & Event Services
We also provide upright and grand piano hire for events, concerts or functions throughout Melbourne. If you need a piano for a wedding, corporate event or recital, we can deliver, set up and later remove it.

4. Piano Tuning, Maintenance & Repair
After a move, a piano often requires tuning because of changes in humidity, settling and transport stress. We can coordinate professional tuning, restoration and maintenance services for Melbourne-based owners.

Frequently Asked Questions (People Also Ask)
Q1: How much does it cost to move a piano in Melbourne?
Costs vary depending on size (upright vs grand), access (stairs, lifts, narrow doors), distance of move and any extra equipment (crane, hoist). We provide fixed all-inclusive quotes in advance — so you don’t pay hourly rates or hidden fees.

Q2: Can you move a grand piano or baby grand in Melbourne?
Yes — we specialise in all types: upright, baby grand and full concert grand pianos. Our Melbourne team is trained in moving large instruments safely, with the correct equipment and techniques.

Q3: What preparations should I make before the removalists arrive?

Clear a pathway in/out of the house (stairs, hallways).

Remove obstacles, rugs, pets and children from the movement area.

Ensure doorways/lifts are accessible and measure if necessary.

Good removalists will perform a free site assessment and advise you in advance.
These steps help avoid delays, damage and extra charges.
