Piano Movers in Concord, MA | Mt Auburn Piano Movers

Concord sits at the far western edge of what we cover, off MA-2 past Lexington, a historic town of antique colonials on long gravel drives set deep in the woods. The pianos here run older than almost anywhere we work, a good number of antique uprights, square pianos, and the odd player piano that has held a Concord parlor since well before living memory. A typical call is a delicate square piano or antique upright departing a center-chimney colonial down a winding gravel drive. Paul Marchetti founded Mt Auburn Piano Movers in 2009 after training as a piano technician, and an antique Concord instrument, where the case is fragile and the drive is long and rutted, is exactly the kind of move that calls for a piano-only crew over a furniture truck.

We handle a Concord antique with extra care, because an old case and a brittle finish forgive nothing. Our crew inspects the instrument before the date, notes loose veneer or a cracked leg, and pads the case to suit, then plans the long gravel drive so a square piano or antique upright rides level and never jolts over a rut. Antique uprights still run 300 to 500 pounds and a square piano is awkward as well as heavy, so we use straps, a skid board, and a slow line rather than speed. The long drives often mean a long carry from the house to the curb, and we set boards across soft ground so the load stays steady. We move player pianos, harpsichords, and antique square pianos the same careful way. Our padded, climate-aware trucks protect an old soundboard and a fragile finish from the hard New England freeze-thaw on the ride back east.

A local antique upright in Concord starts around $220 to $400 and a square or specialty piece is quoted by its condition and weight, with a long carry from a deep drive adding $60 to $140, the flat per-piano figure put on paper up front.
