Piano movers in Auckland, upright and grand.
Upright and grand pianos moved with piano boards, straps, specialist trolleys and a crew sized to the job. We measure every step, doorway and turn before we lift.
Overview
Heavy and delicate at the same time.
A piano can weigh hundreds of kilos, but its legs, pedals, casing and keys are easy to damage. Moving one safely takes the right gear, enough hands and a plan for every step between the room it’s in and the room it’s going to.
We move upright and grand pianos across Auckland, on their own or as part of a full house move. Tell us the model and the access at both ends, and we’ll plan the crew and equipment before the day.
How a piano move works
1. Tell us about the piano. The type or model, plus photos of the access at both ends: steps, tight turns, decks or narrow doorways. WhatsApp is the easiest way to send them.
2. We plan the route. Stairs, doorways and turns are measured, so we bring the right crew size and equipment.
3. Wrapped and secured. Extra padding and protective wrapping, then piano boards, straps and specialist trolleys to move it safely.
4. Placed where you want it. Positioned carefully in its new spot, not just dropped inside the door.

Do you move grand pianos?

Can you move a piano up stairs?
Usually, yes. Tell us how many steps and how tight the turns are when you request a quote. Photos help us plan.
How much does it cost to move a piano?
It depends on the type of piano, the distance and the access at both ends. Send us the details and we’ll come back with a clear, upfront quote.
Can you move my piano as part of a house move?
Yes. Mention it when you ask for your house move quote and we’ll include the right crew and equipment on the day.
Will my piano need tuning after the move?
Pianos often drift out of tune after a move as they adjust to a new room. Many owners book a tuner a few weeks after moving day.
