A piano isn't just heavy. It's heavy, awkward, expensive to repair, and genuinely dangerous to move badly. This isn't a job for two people and a set of stairs.
Tell us what you're moving upright, grand, digital and where it's going. We'll send back a fixed price within 60 minutes. No site visit, no price that changes once the crew's already there.

About The ServicePianos aren't like other furniture. An upright can weigh 200-300kg. A grand piano is often heavier, oddly balanced, and has legs that detach and a lid that needs securing before it goes anywhere.
Get it wrong and you're not just risking a scratch. Internal mechanisms can be knocked out of alignment, cases crack, and legs snap under weight they were never meant to carry sideways. That's an expensive mistake, and often not one insurance covers if the mover wasn't equipped for the job.
We've been moving pianos for 10+ years, using proper piano dollies, skid boards and moving straps, not the general furniture gear used for a sofa. Same trained crews, same insurance, same fixed pricing we use across every service we run.
Different pianos need different handling:
Not sure which category yours falls into? Tell us the make, roughly how old it is, and whether it's upright or grand when you request a quote. We'll send the right crew and equipment for it.
Piano removalists cost depends on the type of piano, the distance it's travelling, and the access at both ends stairs, doorway width, whether there's a lift.
An upright piano moved within the same street costs less than a grand piano going interstate with two flights of stairs at the destination. We ask about all of this before quoting, so the number we give you doesn't change once the piano's already on the dolly.
You get one fixed price. Not a callout fee that turns into a bigger bill because the stairs were narrower than expected.
Piano-specific gear, not general furniture equipment. Piano dollies built for the weight and shape. Skid boards for grand pianos. Heavy-duty straps rated for the load, not standard moving straps.
We pad the case, corners and legs before it moves an inch, and we secure the lid so it can't shift or drop during transport. For grand pianos, legs typically come off for the move and get reattached carefully at the other end.
Crew size matches the piano. An upright usually needs three to four movers. A grand piano, especially with stairs involved, often needs more. We work this out at quote stage, not by seeing what shows up on the day.
Professional packing materials and techniques to protect every item.
Safe loading using trolleys, straps and professional equipment.

It depends on the type of piano, the distance, and the access involved — stairs, doorways, whether there's a lift. Every job gets a fixed price once we know these details, so you're not stuck with a bill that grows on the day. Most quotes come back within 60 minutes.
Upright pianos are heavy but relatively stable, and move on a piano dolly. Grand pianos need their legs and lid secured or removed, and travel on a skid board with a larger crew, since the weight distribution is different and the body is more exposed.
Yes, this is one of the most common situations we deal with. Tell us about the stairs — how many, how tight the turns are — when you book, and we'll send a crew and equipment sized for it.
Yes. Our insurance covers pianos specifically, accounting for the instrument's actual value rather than treating it like general furniture.
Yes. They're lighter than acoustic pianos, but we still handle them carefully to protect the casing and internal electronics, and price them differently since they're a simpler job.
