Piano Movers in Lexington, MA | Mt Auburn Piano Movers

Licensed, insured piano movers serving Lexington and the rest of Greater Boston — careful, flat per-piano pricing, on time, every move.

Lexington stretches along MA-2 and Route 128 northwest of us, a historic colonial town of large single-family homes set back on wooded lots, and the pianos here tend to match the houses. Music-school families settle in Lexington for the schools, so our crew sees plenty of grands and the occasional concert grand in a vaulted family room or a dedicated music space. A typical call is a Yamaha or Steinway grand leaving a large colonial, or a concert grand that needs a careful hand and a wide path to the truck. Paul Marchetti founded Mt Auburn Piano Movers in 2009 after training as a piano technician, and a Lexington move, where a 1,200-pound grand has to come off a long entry and around a curved stair, is the work that makes a piano-only crew worth the call.

We treat a Lexington grand as the centerpiece of the day, because it is. Our crew scouts the entry, the curved stair, and the path to the truck before the date, then takes the legs, lyre, and pedals off and rides the case on its side on a padded skid board. A grand runs 600 to 1,200 pounds and a concert grand pushes toward 1,400, so we use straps, a four-rail carry, and a controlled line, never a rushed corner near the lyre or the soundboard. The large lots mean long carries from a set-back front door, so we chart the route and protect the case the whole way. If the instrument is moving into a fresh music room, we remind families it needs two to four weeks to acclimate before tuning, and we line up a technician once it has settled. Our padded, climate-aware trucks protect a high-value grand from the New England temperature swing on the ride.

A local grand in Lexington starts around $580 to $980 and a concert grand around $850 to $1,500, with a long carry from a set-back door adding $60 to $140 and stairs about $40 to $75 a flight, the whole flat per-piano figure agreed up front. Mt Auburn Piano Movers is a licensed and insured Massachusetts mover, carrying a DPU household-goods carrier license, USDOT and MC authority for interstate transport, and $1M in cargo coverage.

“Our 1920s upright had to go up three flights to a Beacon Hill walk-up, and I honestly thought it could not be done. Dana's crew measured the switchback landing twice, strapped it to a board, and worked it up step by step without one bump to the wall. I took off a star only because they arrived about thirty minutes past the window, but they called ahead to say so and the move itself was flawless.”

“Getting a baby grand into our Back Bay brownstone meant a narrow front stoop and a tight turn at the parlor door. Gus had the legs and lyre off and the body on a skid board before I finished my coffee, and it slid through with inches to spare. These are the people you want on a piano.”

“We needed our concert grand delivered to the church sanctuary in time for a Sunday recital, and Mt Auburn treated it like the serious instrument it is. The crew protected the lid and the long tail, eased it up the chancel steps, and set it exactly where our director wanted it on the platform. Paul came out himself to check the placement before they left. Everything about the day was calm and professional.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Will you take a concert grand out of a Lexington home?

Yes, those are among our most careful jobs. A concert grand pushes toward 1,400 pounds, so we scout the entry, the curved stair, and the path to the truck first, take the legs, lyre, and pedals off, and ride the case on its side on a padded skid board. We rely on straps and a controlled line, never a rushed corner near the lyre or soundboard.

Do you move pianos for music-school families in Lexington?

Often. Lexington draws families who play and study, so we see plenty of Yamaha and Steinway grands in large colonials. We handle high-value instruments the same precise way every time, with the same trained piano-only crew loading, driving, and unloading, and $1M in cargo coverage behind the move.

The house is set far back from the street. Does that change the move?

It can add a long carry, which we account for. Lexington's large wooded lots often put the front door well back from the truck, so we map the route, protect the case the whole way, and price the long carry up front, usually $60 to $140. That way the distance lands in your quote, with nothing sprung on the day.

What does a piano move in Lexington cost?

Pianos are priced per piano. A local grand starts around $580 to $980 and a concert grand $850 to $1,500, with a long carry from a set-back door adding $60 to $140 and stairs about $40 to $75 a flight. The flat figure is agreed in writing up front, with no hourly clock.
