Piano moving in Ballarat
Piano movers for Ballarat and Melbourne to Ballarat moves
A Ballarat move usually means a piano heading up the Western Freeway from Melbourne or Geelong, or a family piano coming the other way. The city’s goldfields era homes are beautiful places for an instrument, with high ceilings and verandahs, but they also come with front steps, raised floors and sometimes a sloping block.
One of our customers moved from Geelong to Ballarat and had not seen the new house before moving day. They thought it was flat. It turned out to have 25 steps at the drop off. Gabriel and the crew took them in their stride for a small extra fee, and the piano went in without fuss. It is a good example of why we ask so many questions about access, and why we come prepared for the answer to change.
On a country run the piano travels upright, padded and strapped in the truck for the whole trip, and it is placed exactly where you want it at the other end. If you would like it tuned, we suggest waiting a couple of weeks for it to settle into its new home.

What Melbourne piano owners say
From 152 Google reviews
Read them all on GoogleGabriel 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
Had a piano picked up from house after selling it this week. Have to say Gabriel was amazing! Great attention to handling a Kawai upright piano with care and fantastic client service. If you are after a piano transport service in Melbourne this is the one for you!!
It was a delight dealing with Gabriel. He and his partner did a great job putting our upright piano in its place. They were punctual, friendly and very professional. If I ever need a piano moved I wouldn’t call anyone else.
Gabriel moved our precious old family upright piano from Melbourne to Horsham. Very thorough service. Great communication re times and completely reliable. Thanks for the care and service Gabriel.
The communication from start to finish was A+. A steep driveway and tricky stairs, and the guys made it look easy! I would definitely recommend their service to anyone wanting their piano moved with confidence. Thanks again!
Gabriel helped to organise my piano move from Camberwell to Wartook (Grampians) and was a pleasure to deal with; professional, courteous and understanding and got the job done quick with no dramas. Piano is in new home, safe and sound. I'm glad I didn't do it myself!
Gabriel and his team were very professional and respectful in moving my upright Kawai piano on a 45’ slope. He made it look so easy (when it’s not) and proactively looked out for uneven grounds and gave advice on how to maneuver the piano to his team every step of the way. 10/10 for service and professionalism. Highly recommend VPT!
Highly recommended. We hired Gabriel to move our Baby Grand Piano as he had great reviews and he did not disappoint. It was raining but they waited it out and transported the piano with great care. They were punctual, friendly, excellent communication and a great price. Thank you Gabriel and team. A+++
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!
