Piano moving across the north

Piano removals for the whole of the north

Melbourne’s northern suburbs are home to a huge share of the city’s musicians, teachers and music loving families. We move pianos across Merri-bek, Darebin, Moonee Valley and beyond every week, from inner northern terraces to family homes in Reservoir and Bundoora.

The north’s housing is wonderfully mixed. Victorian terraces in Brunswick and Fitzroy North, Californian bungalows in Thornbury and Coburg, weatherboards on Northcote’s hills, and new townhouses and apartments almost everywhere. We plan each move around its real access: steps, halls, stairs, lifts and laneways.

Suburbs we cover in the north

Brunswick, Brunswick East, Brunswick West, Coburg, Coburg North, Pascoe Vale, Northcote, Thornbury, Preston, Reservoir, Fairfield, Alphington, Bundoora, Essendon, Moonee Ponds, Ascot Vale and more.

Every instrument

Upright pianos, pianolas, baby grands and grands, organs and digital pianos. Each one is secured, padded, strapped and moved on the right equipment by a specialist crew.

  • Terraces, bungalows, townhouses and apartments
  • Students, teachers, schools and churches
  • North to anywhere in Melbourne and Victoria

How it works

How a Melbourne’s Northern Suburbs 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 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.

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+++

The Fagan familyGoogle review · 2022

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.

Sunil K.Google review · 2022

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.

Andrew E.Google review · 2022

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.

Christine H.Google review · 2022

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.
