Piano moving in Malvern
Specialist piano movers for Malvern
Malvern’s tree-lined streets are full of Edwardian and interwar homes with return verandahs, timber floors and front steps, alongside newer townhouses and apartment buildings. Each brings its own access questions, and we plan for them before the truck arrives.
Front steps and verandahs are the most common challenge in Malvern. A modern upright weighs 200kg to 250kg and an older pianola can be well over 300kg, so we never bump a piano up steps on its casters. Instead it is strapped to a piano trolley or skid board and taken up with ramps and a full crew.
Schools, teachers and families
Malvern is one of Melbourne’s busiest areas for piano lessons, with private teachers, school music departments and families buying a first piano for a child. We deliver new and second-hand instruments, move pianos between rooms during renovations, and collect pianos heading to restorers.
Grand pianos in period homes
Grands in Malvern living rooms are dismantled carefully, padded and moved on a skid board. We check hallway turns and doorways in advance so the piano and your heritage features stay unmarked.
- Timber floors and leadlight doors protected
- Stair and verandah access planned in advance
- Same specialist routine for every instrument

What Melbourne piano owners say
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!
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.
