On Saturday, I gathered up four of my friends and moved this:
Up this flight of stairs:
It was even heavier than I thought it would be, and was much harder to move than I expected. We had to move it up one stair at a time, resting after each one. Huge thanks to Wess, Darren, Chris, and Joe for making this happen. (And thanks to Stacy for taking video)
Despite the strange "graffiti" on the piano, it's actually one of my favorite uprights I've ever played on. It's an old Baldwin Sterling. It was restored by my good friend Joseph Hunt. I'm extremely anxious to write some new music with it. I may track some piano today. Thanks for reading.

The graffiti gives it character.

I love that piano! My husband is a piano tuner so I get lets of practice at shoving pianos around but NOT up or down stairs like that! You are fortunate to have very good friends. I think one one of these would be a great help - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppjf9--Sfcs
