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”

Worked in removals for around 14 years. We moved our fair share of pianos. Both upright and grand. Once up a tight spiral staircase. That was super scary but went without a hitch. It took five of us and a lot of sweat, communication and cursing, but we got it there.
Another one that springs to mind is taking a lorry full of stuff to Switzerland from the UK then nipping over to Germany to bring a load back home. There was a super expensive grand piano to be moved. From a second floor flat. With no lift. And only two of us to do it. The boss hired two extra local guys to come and help move the piano. These guys couldn’t speak a word of English and we couldn’t speak German. The customer had to try and translate for us. That job did not go well. Oh and I forgot to mention the stairs had a half landing with a tight turn to go down the next flight of stairs. Incredibly stressful would be an understatement.
