Piano Removalists Melbourne – Upright Piano Moving Experts
At Melbourne City Movers, we understand that piano moving is an art. For years, our removalists have safely relocated pianos for local families, professionals, and institutions across Melbourne. With specialized equipment, knowledge, and experience, we ensure every piano move is handled with precision and care.
Why Piano Moving Requires Experts
Moving a piano is not like moving ordinary furniture.
- 🎹 An upright piano has around 4,500 moving parts and can weigh up to 500 kg.
- 🎼 A grand piano contains nearly 9,500 moving parts and can weigh more than 550 kg.
Without proper training, equipment, and planning, piano moving can be dangerous and may cause serious damage to both the instrument and property.
Challenges in Piano Moving
- Weight & Shape: Heavy and awkward to maneuver, requiring piano trolleys or lifting straps.
- Stairs & Access: Stairs add complexity; ramps or a team of at least 4 movers may be required.
- Floor Protection: Poor‑quality trolleys can damage wooden floors. We use inflatable tyres with controlled air pressure to prevent marks.
- Smooth Handling: A single bump can affect tuning or damage keys. Our team ensures a steady, careful move.
- Surroundings: Sharp timber edges near entryways may require lifting straps instead of trolleys.
- Surface Suitability: Pianos should only be moved on hard surfaces — not turf grass or crushed rock driveways.
