Seriously, how do piano movers/people move grand or baby grand pianos to places, anywhere? But especially to either small spaces, up stairs, or for example, an apartment/penthouse in a tall building in NYC? I know it happens. It seems very difficult. Explain plz haha
edit for punctuation because my keyboard is broken oh 2nd edit – yeah genuinely no pun intended with the word “keyboard”

Specialist piano movers use a kind of judo move to flip a grand piano onto its side onto a very strong padded truck.
I worked in a music conservatoire for 40 years. I’ve seen it done dozens of times but it happens so fast it’s like magic.
Our Steinway D concert grands weighed three quarters of a ton and cost £180k. Some big name pianists travel with their own pianos and won’t use the pianos in the concert hall.
For smooth moves on the stage you need wide brass casters from Steinway- a snip at £800 – per wheel! You’ll be needing three.
