I was there to deliver and assemble the piano. Itâs a good test of if itâs held itâs tune during the move. I saw my once in a lifetime opportunity and grabbed it.

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 itâs best done in one motion rather than jerking it. I got it in one.
