Raymond Bushell took over the tradition that Elsworth L. Moody and his wife, Ethel, began in 1968 when they opened a piano and organ store and music studio in the Nobscott section of Framingham, Massachusetts. Their dream was to share their joy and love of music with the community through the selling of quality, affordable instruments and teaching people to play them. Moody Piano & Organ became well known in the greater Boston area, and the business continued to grow with the help of their four children: Jean, Scott, Glenn, and Roy.
In the late 1970s, Jean Moody-Bushell, who passed in 2014, and her husband, Raymond Bushell, expanded the Moody family business and began their other successful business – Bushell Piano Movers. Jean received her education at the Berkeley College of Music in Boston. Raymond’s (Rob’s) background is in education and sales. He has a bachelor of science from Framingham State University and two master’s degrees also from Framingham State University. He took over the daily operations of the piano moving and sales in 1978 and continues to this day.
For the past fifty years, the Bushell family has made an unwavering commitment to providing quality piano products, services, and customer satisfaction. Although we have grown and have expanded, we have maintained our strong family values, our dedication to the community, and our personalized service. We have always been and will continue to be a family-owned and operated company.

If you are moving to a different state, the charges will be based on the weight of your
shipment and mileage—these are referred to as the transportation charges.
There are a variety of different moving charges that can potentially appear on your estimate,
so be sure to ask your relocation specialist to explain each charge for you.
Some additional charges that may appear include packing, crating, valuation or coverage,
bulky article charge (for oversized items), and extra labor. Again, please be certain you
fully understand these charges so that you can accurately compare the estimates you receive.
All movers are required to prepare an order for service before they transport your shipment.
The order for service provides you with written confirmation of the moving services that you
requested to be performed in conjunction with your shipment. It also lists the agreed upon
dates for the pickup and delivery of your shipment and amount of valuation that you requested,
along with any special services that you ordered.
It also features a place and telephone number where the mover can contact you during the move.
Additionally, the order for service shows the charges that you will be assessed for your
household move or corporate relocation. If you are moving under a non-binding estimate,
the order for service will indicate the amount of the estimated non-binding charges,
the method of payment for the charges and, in cases where the actual charges exceed the
non-binding estimate, the maximum amount that you are required to pay at the time of delivery
in order to obtain possession of your shipment (you will have 30 days following delivery to
pay the balance of the charges due). If you are moving under a binding estimate,
the order for service will show the charges that you will be required to pay at delivery,
based on the binding estimate and the terms of payment. You and your mover must sign the
order for service.
