Piano Movers in Rhode Island | Mt Auburn Piano Movers

Rhode Island is a short run for us, an hour down I-95 from the Watertown shop, and it packs a lot of piano work into a small state. Providence carries the College Hill grands around Brown and the practice-room pianos at RISD and the music programs nearby, plus Federal Hill walk-ups and East Side Victorians with the kind of narrow, turning staircases our crews see all week in Boston. Paul Marchetti spent years as a piano technician before he started Mt Auburn Piano Movers in 2009, and the crews he trained handle a College Hill baby grand or a Pawtucket upright with the same care, working the instrument down the stairs rather than forcing the move.

Beyond Providence we cover Warwick, Cranston, and the bay towns, and Newport is a specialty of its own. The Bellevue Avenue mansions and shingle-style summer houses hold antique grands, square pianos, and the occasional organ, and the salt air off Narragansett Bay is hard on a soundboard, so our padded, climate-aware trucks and climate-controlled storage matter here. We move pianos for homeowners, the music schools, and the many historic churches across the state, and a piano always gets a few weeks to settle before we set up a tuner. A baby grand runs $420 to $720 flat and a concert grand $850 to $1,500; interstate transport from Boston is a per-piano base plus mileage, with $1M in cargo coverage on every load. Stairs add about $40 to $75 a flight, and a crane lift through a window runs $650 to $1,800 where there is no stair path.
