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”

I have moved my parents grand piano a couple times, the legs unscrewed, leaving us with just the keys and strings, and we could take off the lid, pedals and, keys cover so they don’t break, we then wrapped it up in plastic, the first few times we carried it with a few of us, one time we slid it on the ground on a blanket. Basically you move it however you can.

Granted this piano is very old, and one side isn’t even sanded so it’s not exactly pristine. Was built in England late 1800’s
