Piano Moving

It takes skilled and experienced removalists to move pianos from place to place. With intricate and often extremely delicate inner mechanics, and often weighing hundreds of kilos, pianos need to be carefully handled and checked pre and post move.

Safety of the removalists and treatment of the piano need to be well considered throughout the entire piano moving process, due to the great weight of these pieces.

At Dawson Moving & Storage, we pride ourselves on successful relocation of precious items such as piano’s and billiard tables for both amateur and professional purposes throughout Australia.piano moving melbourne

We have moved fragile pianos and other oversized fragile items from suburb to suburb and interstate with precision and sufficient manpower to ensure their safe arrival.

Piano moving is an additional service due to the very particular requirements needed to successfully complete the task. It is a process which involves; preparing the piano, transferring it from a fixed location to the moving trolley, manoeuvring the piano from room to truck, loading it onto the truck, securing the piano for transportation, driving the piano the required distance, unloading, and carefully manoeuvring the instrument to its new location.

It’s not every day that you will need to relocate a piano, so it’s best to do it right.

    Professional Piano Moving Services in Australia

A piano has many moving parts and components and any shock or vibration can cause severe damage. We recommend professional piano movers who have decades of experience moving pianos in all conditions.

We understand the importance of pianos in our customers’ lives and we recommend our customers obtain appropriate and adequate insurance cover to protect you if things go wrong.
