Piano Movers in Wellesley, MA | Mt Auburn Piano Movers

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

Wellesley sits southwest of us off Route 16 and Route 9, a leafy college town of large colonials set on generous lots, and grands and baby grands are common behind those front doors. Wellesley College and a long tradition of music in the home mean our crew handles plenty of fine instruments here, a Steinway or Mason and Hamlin grand in a formal living room or a baby grand in a sunroom. A typical Wellesley job is an heirloom grand departing a center-entrance colonial, or a baby grand shifting across town to a downsized home. Paul Marchetti founded Mt Auburn Piano Movers in 2009 after working as a piano technician, and a Wellesley move, where a fine grand has to come off a stone step and around a formal staircase, is precisely what a piano-only crew is meant for.

We treat a Wellesley grand with the care a fine instrument earns, planning the whole path before move day. Our crew scouts the stone front steps, the formal staircase, and the carry to the truck, 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, so straps and a four-rail carry carry the day, never a hurried turn near the lyre or the soundboard. The big lots often mean a long carry from a set-back door, and we plan the route and protect the case the whole way. When a grand settles into a new room, we remind families it needs two to four weeks to acclimate before tuning, and we line up a technician once it has. Our padded, climate-aware trucks shield a high-value grand from the New England swing between hard freeze and humid summer on the ride.

A local grand in Wellesley starts around $580 to $980 and a baby grand around $420 to $720, 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 fine grand from a Wellesley colonial?

This is much of our Wellesley work. Wellesley's large colonials hold plenty of Steinway and Mason and Hamlin grands, and we treat each one with the care a fine instrument earns. We pull the legs, lyre, and pedals off, ride the case on a padded skid board, and the same trained piano-only crew handles every step.

Do you carry enough coverage for a high-value piano?

We do. Mt Auburn Piano Movers carries $1M in cargo coverage, with a full-value protection option and a nine-month claim window, which matters for the fine grands common in Wellesley. We are a licensed and insured Massachusetts mover, and the same crew loads, drives, and unloads, so the instrument is never handed off.

When should I tune the grand after the move?

Give it two to four weeks to settle into the new room first. A grand needs to acclimate to the temperature and humidity of its new spot before it holds a tuning, especially with New England's seasonal swings. Once it has settled, we can line up a technician for you, usually $150 to $250 paid to the tuner, on request.

What does a piano move in Wellesley cost?

Pianos are priced per piano. A local grand starts around $580 to $980 and a baby grand $420 to $720, 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.
