Piano moving in Kew
Piano movers for Kew’s period homes
Kew is one of Melbourne’s great piano suburbs. Its Victorian, Edwardian and interwar homes often have formal living rooms built for a grand or baby grand, and many families have an upright tucked into a study or family room as well. Those homes also come with things worth protecting: polished boards, tessellated tiles, leadlight doors and old plaster.
A grand move in a period home starts before the piano is touched. We cover the floors along the route, check doorways and the front entry, and plan where the piano will turn. Then the legs and lyre come off, the piano is laid on its side on a padded skid board and strapped, and it travels that way to the truck. At the other end it goes back together in exactly the spot you want.
Kew also has long driveways, garden paths and front steps, especially around Studley Park where the land falls toward the Yarra. We plan for slopes and steps the same way we plan for a staircase: measured, with enough crew and the right gear.

What Melbourne piano owners say
From 152 Google reviews
Read them all on GoogleWe 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!
I couldn't be happier with the piano moving service from Gabrielle and his team. Clear communication, on time, efficient and handled the piano with great care. Thank you!!
Excellent job on a delivery piano to our apartment. Great communication and friendly service. Would recommend it everyone without any hesitation.
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!
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!
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.
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!!
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.
Questions
Piano moving in Kew: FAQs
How do you move a grand piano out of a period home?
We protect the floors, remove the legs and lyre, lay the piano on its side on a padded skid board and strap it. It travels that way and is reassembled in place.
Will the piano fit through our front door?
Most do once a grand is on its side. Tell us the door and hallway widths and any tight turns and we will check before moving day.
Do you move pianos for schools and teachers?
Yes. We move single pianos for teachers and studios as well as several instruments for schools.
