Piano moving in Coburg North

Piano movers for Coburg North townhouses and family homes

Coburg North has been quietly rebuilding itself. Plenty of the original post-war brick and weatherboard homes are still standing, but more and more blocks now hold two or three townhouses, and that changes how a piano move works. Townhouse living areas are often upstairs, reached by a narrow internal staircase with a turn at the top.

Internal stairs are the part of the job we plan most carefully. We ask about the width of the stairs, where they turn and whether there is a balustrade in the way. With that information we can tell you honestly whether an upright will go up, how many crew it needs, and how we will protect the walls and carpet on the way.

For older homes the job is simpler: a few front steps and a straight hallway. Either way, the piano is wrapped in padded covers, strapped to a trolley and placed exactly where you want it.

Around Merlynston and Gaffney Street

We cover all of Coburg North, from Merlynston station across to Edgars Creek, as well as Coburg, Pascoe Vale and Fawkner, and moves across Melbourne and regional Victoria.

Honest advice on stairs

If a staircase will not safely take a piano, we will tell you before moving day, not on it. That is why we ask so many questions up front.

How it works

How a Coburg North 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.

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!!

Robyn K.Google review · Aug 2026

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!

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

Andrew F.Google review · 2025

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!

RobbieGoogle review · 2024

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.

Christina H.Google review · 2024

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.
