What customers say

Piano wrapped for safe transport or storage

Wrapped, stored, protected

Short- or long-term piano storage with proper wrapping and climate-aware handling.

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.

Climate-aware piano storage is available short or long term while sale, renovation, or international timing is sorted.

Common questions

How much does upright piano moving cost?
Upright piano moves typically start from $290 excl. GST locally in Auckland. Stairs, distance, and outer suburbs are confirmed in your written quote before you book.
How is an upright piano protected during transport?
Yes. Quilted blankets, shrink wrap, and securing straps are applied before the piano leaves your home. It is moved on specialist dollies and strapped upright inside the truck.
Can you move an upright through a narrow hallway or stairwell?
Yes. Uprights are awkward in tight access; we plan the route and use custom dollies. Tell us about stairs and turns at both addresses when you quote.
How many movers do you send for an upright piano?
Minimum three trained movers on standard upright jobs. We never send fewer than three on a piano move.
How far in advance should I book an upright piano move?
Two weeks ahead is best for month-end and weekends. We can often move sooner, call (021) 228 2728 for the next available piano crew.
Do you move digital and electric pianos?
Yes. Digital and electric pianos are lighter but still need careful handling on stairs. We scope access and confirm price before move day.
What areas do you cover for upright piano moves?
Auckland suburbs daily from Wairau Valley, plus Hamilton, Cambridge, and regular Auckland–Waikato corridor runs.
Will my upright need tuning after the move?
Usually not from the move alone, but temperature and humidity changes can affect pitch. We suggest tuning 2 to 3 weeks after the piano settles in its new room.
