Piano moving in Princes Hill
Piano movers for Princes Hill’s period homes
Princes Hill is small, leafy and full of history. Much of the suburb was built during the 1880s boom, which means beautiful terraces with original floors, decorative hallways and a step or two up from a narrow front garden. They are lovely homes for a piano, and they ask for patience when you are getting one in or out.
The things we plan for here are the front gate and garden path, the hallway width, the turn into the front room and the floors themselves. Original boards and tiles are covered before the piano moves, and the piano stays on a trolley or skid board the whole way instead of being dragged, which protects both the instrument and the house.
Whether it is a family upright, a baby grand for the front room or a piano heading off to a restorer, it gets the same unhurried care, and it is placed exactly where you want it, not just left inside the door.
Parking in narrow streets
Parking can be tight in Princes Hill. Let us know about permit zones or restrictions when you book and we will plan where the truck can stop.
Grands in period homes
Baby grands and grands travel on their side on a padded skid board, with the legs and lyre removed and refitted once the piano is in position.
- Victorian terraces and original floors
- Baby grands for front rooms
- Transport to and from restorers

Read them all on GoogleBoth 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.
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!
Questions
Piano moving in Princes Hill: FAQs
Will you protect our original floors?
Yes. We cover floors along the route and keep the piano on a trolley or skid board the whole way, so it is never dragged.
Can a grand piano fit through a terrace hallway?
Usually. Grands travel on their side with the legs off, which makes them much narrower than they look. We check the hallway width and turns when you book.
Do you cover Carlton North as well?
Yes, along with Carlton, Fitzroy North, Brunswick East and the rest of Melbourne.
