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”

As many others have stated, you move it however you can. Often times even when you’re moving up stairs or in tight spaces you don’t have any specialized equipment. The legs come off, you tip it on the side, put it on a dolly, grab some extra dudes and move it where it needs to go.
I once moved a piano into the choir loft of a church that was up a flight of 30 stairs with a U-shaped bend. Nobody believed me when I told them it was just me and 3 other guys lifting it like any other appliance.
