Piano Advice Centre

Welcome to the JM & SONS Piano Advice Centre

Whether you’re moving an upright piano across town, relocating a grand piano to a concert venue, or simply looking for advice on caring for your instrument, you’ve come to the right place.

The JM & SONS Piano Advice Centre is a growing library of practical guides and expert information based on more than 40 years of specialist piano moving experience. Every article is written from real-world knowledge gained through thousands of piano moves across Melbourne and regional Victoria.

Our aim is to help piano owners, musicians, schools, venues and institutions better understand how to safely move, protect and care for their pianos. From stairs and gravel driveways to tuning after moving, storage, humidity and concert logistics, we share practical advice you can rely on.

This resource is continually expanding, with new guides added regularly. If you don’t find the answer you’re looking for today, please check back soon or contact us—we’re always happy to help.
