Piano Movers in Maine | Mt Auburn Piano Movers

Maine is our longest regular New England run, up I-95 about two hours to Portland and on to the midcoast, Bangor, and Augusta. The distance makes the per-piano transport price the heart of the job, and it makes climate care non-negotiable. Portland’s West End carries Victorian and Federal houses with steep, narrow stairs and family grands, the Old Port and Munjoy Hill have walk-up flats, and the midcoast and island towns hold antique square pianos and parlor grands in old summer homes. Paul Marchetti worked as a piano technician before he started Mt Auburn Piano Movers in 2009, and his crews treat a 19th-century Portland grand as the fragile instrument it is on the long haul north.

We move pianos statewide for homeowners, churches, and schools. Portland and Brunswick bring the music programs and church grands, Lewiston and Auburn carry mill-city housing with tight back stairs, and Bangor and Augusta are reachable on the same northbound run. Coastal Maine humidity and hard winters swing a soundboard, so the instrument rides in a padded, climate-aware truck, and our climate-controlled storage holds a piano when closings drift or a seasonal house is not ready. A piano always gets a few weeks to settle before we set up a tuner. A grand runs $580 to $980 flat for a local carry, and interstate transport from Boston 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 crane lift runs $650 to $1,800 where there is no stair path.
