I’ve played one handed chariots of fire on a million dollar grand in hamer hall, and a number of other famous Victorian recital rooms. I asked permission. I was there to deliver and assemble the piano. It’s a good test of if it’s held it’s tune during the move. I saw my once in a lifetime opportunity and grabbed it.

Hey guys, I’m in a bit of a pickle. Second date guy says that if we see a piano, he’s going to make me play it. Thankfully he didn’t say guitar because that is going even worse than piano?
Songs to play to impress your crush? /j

That’s so cool

It was an experience for sure. When moving any size grand, you have enough guys to hold up long side with two legs, you remove the legs and lower it onto a piano trolley (a little nugget of a thing with SOLID wheels), then lift it vertical and take the last leg off.t The MSO tech staff had already removed the pedals. The scariest bit was operating the forklift to lift it onto the stage at the Melbourne Town Hall as it’s best done in one motion rather than jerking it. I got it in one.

It’s not meant for piano, it’s a song that’s meant to breathe

4’33" by John Cage. (Here’s a performance by the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra)
It will leave quite the impression upon him.
