Piano Moving Services in Melbourne
Urban Movers has been moving pianos for more than 10 years. Our piano movers in Melbourne handle every type, from small spinets to concert grands, and we know a piano is far more than a heavy box. An upright can weigh 200 to 300 kg, and a grand can weigh even more. That's why we send trained crews with proper piano equipment on every job.
Upright Piano Moving
Uprights, consoles, spinets and studio pianos are padded, strapped to a piano trolley and moved upright to protect the action.
Grand and Baby Grand Moving
We remove the legs and lyre, wrap the body and move it on its side on a padded piano board, then rebuild it at your new place.
Piano Storage
Renovating or between homes? Keep your piano safe in clean, secure storage until you're ready.
Antique and Heritage Pianos
Older pianos need extra care. We take our time and protect timber, veneers and keys.
Interstate Piano Movers
Moving to Sydney, Brisbane or Adelaide? We move your piano safely as part of your interstate move.
Pianos in a Full House Move
Add your piano to a house move and we'll send the right crew and gear for the whole job.
