Connecticut is a steady run for us down I-84 to Hartford and I-91 to New Haven, roughly two hours from the Watertown shop. The work splits in two: dense, old housing stock in the cities and big estate pianos in the suburbs. Hartford’s brick three-deckers and Asylum Hill Victorians have tight stairwells, while the Gold Coast towns of Greenwich, Westport, and Stamford carry family grands in center-hall colonials with back staircases. Paul came up as a piano technician before founding Mt Auburn Piano Movers in 2009, and his crews treat a Wadsworth-era square piano or a 1920s Mason and Hamlin grand as the delicate machine it is, not just weight on a dolly.
We move pianos across the state for homeowners, churches, and schools. New Haven adds the Yale music scene and its practice-room grands, Stamford and Bridgeport bring corporate-relocation and condo work where a piano has to thread a single freight elevator, and the shoreline towns from Old Saybrook to Mystic ask for climate care because humidity off the Sound swings a soundboard fast. Our padded, climate-aware trucks and our climate-controlled storage room handle that, and a piano always gets a few weeks to settle in its new room before we line up a tuner. A console runs $280 to $480 flat and a grand $580 to $980; interstate transport from Boston to Connecticut is a per-piano base plus mileage, quoted per job, with $1M in cargo coverage on every load. Stairs add about $40 to $75 a flight, and a long or tight carry runs $60 to $140.
Bringing a grand from Boston down to the Gold Coast, moving a family upright within Hartford or New Haven, or relocating a church piano along the shoreline? Request a free estimate. The crew that loads in Boston is the same crew that unloads in Connecticut, with the per-piano figure set in writing first.
