What customers say
Grand pianos need grand care
Grand piano moves with specialist gear, protection, and experienced crews.
Every piano is wrapped in padded blankets and shrink wrap before it leaves your home. Uprights are secured upright inside the truck with specialist straps. Grands are tilted onto a piano board, padded, and strapped for transport. Humidity and finish are protected with proper wrap, not just a furniture blanket.
Grand piano moves include leg removal where required, piano board tilt, padded wrap, and placement at your new address.

Grand pianos require extra precision. We use proven techniques and the right tools to protect your instrument from pickup to final placement.

- How many movers do you send for a grand piano?
- Minimum three trained movers on standard grand jobs. Tight access or long carries may need a fourth; we confirm crew size when we quote.
- Can you move a grand piano with stairs or tight turns?
- Yes. Our teams move grands through narrow hallways and stairwells across Auckland and Hamilton regularly. Tell us about both addresses when you request a quote.

- Will my grand piano need tuning after the move?
- The move itself rarely knocks a piano out of tune, but humidity changes can. Book a tuner 2 to 3 weeks after placement so the instrument settles in its new room.
