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”

Moving them in their normal orientation would be nearly impossible. So the legs can usually come off so that they can be moved on its side on moving dollies. That gets it through most doors and hallways. Stairs are indeed difficult and are usually avoided; you won’t see many pianos in places with only stair access. For the high-rise apartments and other large buildings, elevators exist, and are often required above a certain height of building.
