Piano moving in Coburg

Specialist piano movers for Coburg

Coburg’s streets combine Edwardian weatherboards, post-war brick homes and a growing number of townhouses and apartments along Sydney Road and the Upfield line. Front steps, verandahs and internal townhouse stairs are the typical challenges, and we plan for each before the move.

Many Coburg pianos are older uprights and pianolas that have been in a family for generations. These heavier instruments need careful handling: lids and fallboards secured, pedals protected and the piano strapped to a trolley rather than walked on old casters that can collapse.

Coburg North and surrounds

We cover Coburg North, Pascoe Vale South and the wider Merri-bek area, as well as moves from Coburg to anywhere in Melbourne and regional Victoria.

Restorations and tuning

If your family piano needs restoration, we can take it to a restorer and bring it home afterwards, and recommend a tuner once it has settled.

  • Family uprights and heavy pianolas
  • Front steps and townhouse stairs
  • Transport to and from restorers

How it works

How a Coburg 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.

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!

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.

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.

Dayne K.Google review · 2024

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

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!!

Damien B.Google review · 2024

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.

Francesca M.Google review · 2024

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.

Kerry W.Google review · 2024

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!

A. J.Google review · 2024

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!

David W.Google review · 2024

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!

Vicky M.Google review · 2023

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+++

Questions

Piano moving in Coburg: FAQs

Can you move an old family piano safely?

Yes. Older uprights and pianolas are heavy and their casters can be fragile, so we secure the instrument and move it on a strapped trolley.

Do you cover Coburg North?

Yes, along with Pascoe Vale, Brunswick and the rest of Merri-bek.

Can you take my piano to a restorer?

Yes. We can collect it, deliver it to the restorer and bring it home when the work is done.
