Piano moving in Brunswick East

Piano movers for Brunswick East homes and apartments

Brunswick East has changed a lot in the last decade. The old terraces and workers’ cottages are still there, but Lygon Street and Nicholson Street now have apartment buildings on almost every block. For a piano, that means two very different moves: a narrow terrace hallway with a tight turn into the front room, or a lift ride that needs booking with building management.

For apartments, we ask about the lift, the loading area and whether the building sets a time slot for removals. Many uprights fit in a standard passenger lift on their trolley, but not every lift is big enough, and it is much better to know that before moving day. For terraces, we ask about the hallway width and plan the turn, so the piano goes in once, cleanly.

With so many musicians, teachers and students living around Lygon Street, pianos here move between share houses, studios and first homes all the time. Each one is wrapped in padded covers, strapped to a trolley and travels upright in our truck.

Lygon Street to the Merri Creek

We cover all of Brunswick East, from Lygon Street across to the Merri Creek and Northcote, and take pianos anywhere in Melbourne or out to regional Victoria.

Booking a building

If your apartment needs a removal booking or lift protection, let us know when you book and we will fit our arrival time around it.

  • Apartments, lifts and loading bays
  • Terrace hallways and tight turns
  • Studios, teachers and share houses

How it works

How a Brunswick East piano move works

  1. Quote and access check

    Tell us the piano, both addresses and any stairs. We confirm a fixed price and the right crew size.

  2. Protect the room

    Floors and door frames are covered before the piano moves an inch.

  3. Wrap and secure

    Lids locked, legs and pedals removed where needed, the case padded and strapped to a skid board.

  4. Careful transport

    Loaded by ramp or tail lift and tied down upright in our padded vehicle.

  5. Placement

    Carried in, reassembled and set exactly where you want it, level and steady.

  6. Final check

    We check keys, pedals and casters with you, and can arrange a tuner once it settles.

Sought the help Gabriel and his team for moving an upright piano looking at the great reviews. He did not disappoint, it was raining heavily but the job was done professionally and with no hassles. Stairs, no problem; rain, no problem, consider the job well done. Thanks much to Gabriel and his team for the help.

Both Gabriel and Gin very professional, it was a pleasure to see these guys arrive on time, carefully delivering our piano to our home with kit gloves, this meant a lot to us and they were very sensitive to our requests. No trouble at all to get the job done perfectly. I highly recommend this company to whomever needs a piano removed or delivered. Andrea.

Very happy that I got Gabriel and Pete to move my Yamaha U3. The move required over lawn, outdoor stairs, 6 internal stairs, and tight spaces. They did a fabulous job. Very happy with the price, service, communication. Definitely recommend.

Victorian Piano Transport provided an exceptional piano moving experience. Incredibly prompt. No nonsense. Gabriel and his team were very careful with the piano during the move as well as floor surfaces in both locations. Competitively priced. Would definitely recommend and would use again.

This 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!

Excellent job on a delivery piano to our apartment. Great communication and friendly service. Would recommend it everyone without any hesitation.

Louis L.Google review · Mar 2026

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!

TC B.Google review · Feb 2026

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!

Patrick C.Google review · 2025

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.

Clare B.Google review · 2025

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

Questions

Piano moving in Brunswick East: FAQs

Can you move a piano into an apartment with a lift?

Yes. Send us the inside measurements of the lift if you can, and tell us about the loading area. We confirm it fits before moving day.

My terrace has a narrow hallway. Is that a problem?

Not usually. Most uprights go through a standard hallway on a trolley. We ask about the width and any turns so there are no surprises on the day.

Do you move pianos for teachers and studios?

Yes. We move pianos for teachers, studios and schools as well as homes, including a music school that needed three pianos lifted to a first floor.
