Piano moving in Port Melbourne
Piano movers based in Port Melbourne
Victorian Piano Transport is based in Port Melbourne, so this is the neighbourhood we know best. Narrow streets of workers cottages sit beside warehouse conversions and the apartment towers along the bay and Beacon Cove, and each needs a different plan.
Apartment moves are the most common here. We confirm the lift size and weight limit, book the loading dock or a parking spot, and protect lift walls and corridors. For larger grands that will not fit a lift, we talk through the alternatives with your building manager before the day.
Cottages and conversions
Single fronted cottages have narrow halls and front doors that open straight onto the footpath, while warehouse conversions often have internal stairs and mezzanines. We measure, plan and bring the equipment the space needs.
Close to the city and the bay
Being local means short travel times for Port Melbourne, South Melbourne, Albert Park and Docklands moves, and flexibility when you need a piano moved at short notice.
- Lifts, loading docks and building bookings handled
- Narrow cottage halls and mezzanines planned
- Local crew, flexible timing

Read them all on GoogleI 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.
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!
