Choosing the Right Piano Movers

Picking the correct mob to move your piano is crucial. Look for a crew that’s got heaps of experience with pianos. Check their reviews online and make sure they are fully insured. A decent mover will scope out your piano and the move logistics beforehand so you know they’re prepared.

If your move also includes valuable antiques, our antique furniture moving experts in Brisbane can handle those alongside the piano.

Preparing Your Piano for Transport

Before your big move, make sure your piano is ready to go. Follow these steps to ensure a safe journey for your instrument:
  • Secure the Keyboard Lid:Lock the lid to protect the keys. If it doesn’t lock, wrap it securely to prevent any movement.
  • Wrap with Care:Cover the piano with moving blankets to shield it from bumps and scratches. Make sure every part of the piano is covered, and use tape to hold the blankets in place, just keep the sticky side off the piano’s finish.
  • Immobilise the Casters: To prevent any rolling or shifting during transport, immobilise the casters. This will keep your piano stable and secure on the moving truck.

Piano Moving Day Guide

Make moving day as smooth as possible by preparing in advance. Here are some tips to help ensure everything goes seamlessly:
  • Clear the Path: Ensure there’s a clear and unobstructed path from your piano to the truck. Remove any rugs, decorations, or small items that could cause someone to trip.
  • Discuss the Route: Have a conversation with your movers about the best way to move the piano, especially if navigating stairs or tight corners.
  • Secure Pets and Children: Keep children and pets in a separate room or under supervision away from the moving area to prevent any distractions or accidents.
  • Stay Communicative: Keep the lines of communication open with your movers throughout the day. Clear, ongoing dialogue helps manage any challenges as they arise and ensures a smooth process.

Can you move a piano, pool table or antiques as part of my move?

DNS moves upright pianos, pool tables and antique furniture as part of a residential move. These pieces need to be declared when you book so the quote can account for the item and the team can plan the move. Upright pianos are ground floor to ground floor only. There can be no stairs at pickup or delivery. For the rest of your move, see apartment moves. Pool tables normally need a crew of three. DNS dismantles your pool table, moves it, and puts it back together at the new place. No separate table mechanic to book. For help preparing your other belongings, see packing and unpacking.

How heavy and special items are priced (and why the lift fee is honest)

The piano or pool table is billed on the same hourly rate as the rest of the move. A heavy-item surcharge applies to very heavy or special pieces and is confirmed from the photos you email before booking.
The heavy-lift fee goes to the crew for the extra effort, or applies because the piece is special or fragile and needs handling that a normal item does not. DNS makes nothing on it.
The surcharge appears in the quote before move day. It is not added as a surprise on the day.

What DNS does not move (grand pianos and pianolas)

Grand pianos and pianolas are the one thing DNS does not move.
DNS does move upright pianos, but only ground floor to ground floor. No stairs can be involved at either end.
