Once an instrument leaves New England, the same handlers who boarded it in Watertown drive the whole route to the destination room. Plenty of these hauls move a family grand for a household relocating, a conservatory piano bound for another school, or an estate instrument going to an heir, so the road matters every bit as much as the lift-out. Our long runs trace the East Coast, reach out across the country, and a handful recur often enough that we already know the highways, the climate stops, and a fair arrival window. Each instrument rolls under a per-instrument base plus mileage with $1M cargo coverage riding along: one estimate, one team, the piano braced from curb to curb.
Here are the runs the handlers cover most:
- Boston to New York City — the straight pull down I-95, far and away our busiest piano run.
- Boston to Hartford — west on the Mass Pike, then south on I-84 into Connecticut.
- Boston to Providence — a quick I-93 to I-95 hop into Rhode Island.
- Boston to Portland, Maine — north along I-95 up the New England coast.
- Boston to Worcester — a short westward jump out the Mass Pike past Route 128.
- Boston to Manchester, NH — up I-93 into New Hampshire.
- Boston to Springfield — westbound on I-90 toward the Connecticut River valley.
- Boston to Washington, DC — the long I-95 drive down the corridor.
- Boston to Burlington, VT — north up I-89 across Vermont.
- Boston to Philadelphia — I-95 through New York and into Pennsylvania.
