Piano Movers in Waltham, MA | Mt Auburn Piano Movers

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

Waltham sits on the Charles just west of Watertown, the old mill city turned tech hub, and its pianos live in a mix our crew knows well. Around Moody Street and the university blocks near Bentley there are condos, two-families, and brick walk-ups, many in converted mill buildings with freight elevators and long interior corridors. Out toward the western edge the streets open into single-families with proper music rooms. A typical Waltham job is an upright coming out of a mill-loft condo or a baby grand leaving a two-family near the river. Paul Marchetti started Mt Auburn Piano Movers in 2009 after years as a piano technician, and the range Waltham throws at a crew, from a tight walk-up to a loft with a finicky freight elevator, is just what a piano-only company is built around.

We plan a Waltham move around the building first, since a mill loft and a triple-decker ask for different methods. In the converted mill condos we measure the freight elevator and the corridor turn, reserve the elevator a day ahead when the building requires it, and ride the case in flat on a padded skid board. In the two-families and brick walk-ups we run the interior stair with a spotter on every landing. An upright at 300 to 500 pounds and a baby grand past 600 both want straps and a clean four-rail carry, not speed; we pad the case so a long corridor or a tight stair never jars the soundboard. Parking near Moody Street and the Bentley blocks is tight, so we arrange the truck spot ahead. Our padded, climate-aware trucks protect the case against the river-valley cold and the humid summer on the short run.

A local upright in Waltham starts around $220 to $400 and a baby grand around $420 to $720, with stairs adding roughly $40 to $75 a flight and a long corridor carry $60 to $140, the flat per-piano figure put on paper before the lift. Mt Auburn Piano Movers is a licensed and insured Massachusetts mover, holding a DPU household-goods carrier license, USDOT and MC authority for interstate piano 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 piano out of a converted mill-loft condo in Waltham?

Yes, those are routine Waltham jobs. The converted mill buildings near Moody Street have freight elevators and long interior corridors, so we measure the elevator and the corridor turn ahead, reserve the elevator a day in advance when the building requires it, and ride the case in flat on a padded skid board with the same trained crew throughout.

Do you move pianos around the Bentley and university blocks?

Often. The two-families, condos, and brick walk-ups near Bentley and the university blocks keep us busy with uprights and baby grands. We run the interior stair with a spotter on every landing, pad the case for the tight turns, and the same piano-only crew loads, drives, and unloads. We never subcontract the job.

Parking is tight near Moody Street. In what way do you handle the truck?

We arrange the truck spot ahead of the date and plan a clean carry to it. The blocks around Moody Street and Bentley leave little room, so the parking and the carry are part of how we plan the job. A long corridor or street carry runs $60 to $140 and is in your quote before we start.

What does a piano move in Waltham cost?

Pianos are priced per piano, not by the hour. A local upright starts around $220 to $400, a console $280 to $480, and a baby grand $420 to $720, with stairs adding about $40 to $75 a flight and a long corridor carry $60 to $140. The flat figure goes on paper before the lift.
