Trusted piano movers since 2017. From uprights to grand pianos, We Move handles every shift with the right gear and a careful crew.
Moving a piano isn’t like moving a couch, one wrong tilt cracks the soundboard or scratches your floor. We Move handles every type, upright to grand, with proper dollies, padded blankets, and a team that’s done this hundreds of times. Read our step-by-step piano moving guide for the full process.
People hire piano movers for lots of reasons.
Experienced Crew Hundreds of piano moves since 2017. We know how to handle uprights, grands, and digital pianos with the same care.
Right Equipment
4-wheel piano dollies, heavy felt blankets, stretch film, ramps, and load-rated straps. Pair it with our packing and packaging service for the safest move.
Local Knowledge
From Cashmere hills to Merivale heritage homes, our Christchurch movers know every tight doorway and steep drive.
Full Insurance
Transit insurance on every move. Need to hold the piano short-term? Ask about our secure storage solutions.
Pianos weigh 180 to 550 kg, hide 10,000+ moving parts, and lose tuning if jolted. We Move uses proper dollies, padded blankets, and a trained crew to shift uprights and grands safely.

Need help with something? Our frequently asked questions might have the answer you’re looking for.
01.
Every piano move is custom-quoted. Cost depends on the piano type, distance, floor of pickup and drop, stairs, and how much specialty gear we need. Send us the details for a fair, upfront quote.
02.
Yes. We bring extra crew and the right straps for stair moves. Just tell us the count and the turn when you quote, so we send the right team size and gear.
03.
Most likely, yes. Even a perfectly handled move shifts strings slightly. Plan to tune it 2 to 4 weeks after delivery, once it has settled into the new room's humidity.
04.
Absolutely. We handle Christchurch to Auckland piano moves, South Island to North Island via ferry, and everywhere in between. See our inter-island and intercity moving service for the full breakdown.
