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”

It’s pretty amazing watching professional piano movers do it. I worked with a chamber music festival for a number of years. We had to move pianos all the time between performance sites, some of which were in the houses of donors to the festival. Pros have a number of different types of custom rigs they can strap the pianos to, which make moving them simple and safe. It blew my mind every time I saw it.
