Manchester is a short hop north of our Watertown shop, about 55 miles up I-93, and southern New Hampshire is steady work for us. A lot of these calls are a family grand going to a home in Bedford or the North End of Manchester, a console headed for a teacher near Saint Anselm, or an upright bound for a church or recital room in the city. Whatever the piano, Mt Auburn Piano Movers keeps it on one truck with the same piano-only crew the whole way, so the crew that pads and boards your instrument in Boston is the crew that sets it in its New Hampshire room.
The drive is an easy hour straight up I-93, which keeps the piano’s time on the road brief. Paul rides along on the grands that earn the extra care, and the truck is padded and climate-aware, because northern New England winters and the freeze-thaw swing are hard on a piano that is not protected. A grand is tipped onto a skid board with the legs, lyre, and pedals off and reset at the far end; an upright rides strapped on the piano board. We are a licensed Massachusetts mover, a DPU household-goods carrier with USDOT and MC authority for interstate piano transport and a full million in cargo coverage, and we move pianos and a short list of heavy specialty pieces and nothing else. The lift is never handed off at the state line. Get a Boston to Manchester piano quote, or see how our piano transport service handles this run north.
Interstate piano transport is a per-piano base plus mileage, a flat figure you approve before loading and steady the whole 55 miles. Send the make and the access at both doors, and that number holds from your room in Boston to the room in Manchester.
