I still have no idea how people get grand pianos into their houses.
First they buy and place the piano, THEN they build the house.
This actually happens. Had a relative that bought one of a row of townhouses being built back in the 60s. The company building the houses thought it would be a sweet incentive to include a piano with each one, so now everyones house in that row has a busted old stand up piano in the basement that's impossible to remove without some sort of demolition.
WOW. When the app popped up your comment, I saw the first sentence and I tried to guess which of my comments it was a response to. Then I went like "no way".
No matter how hard you try to come up with some surrealist bullshit, chances are someone had thought of the same and went like "this is a great idea".
We have that problem with our late parents house. The grand piano was placed into a second-floor room by removing the window casing and using a crane.
We are hoping that the piano will sell with the house.
the legs come off a grand, they turn it 90d and wheel it on a cart. seen this done, required tall doors tho.
Hmmm interesting. Still sounds very difficult.
it's quite the workout even with a bunch of big guys and the right equipment.
