Hi all,  Many years ago, I lived in a mobile(?) home in the Los
Angeles, California, area and I had an upright 88-note player piano
in my family room.  I finally decided that I wanted a Steinway Upright
Duo-Art and sold the 88-note player and found a dealer who had a 1914
Steinway upright Duo-Art for sale.  I bought it and he delivered it
to my home and brought it into the living room.

To get the piano to the family room, we had to travel the piano down
a curved hallway.  I had no problem with moving the 88-note player
piano down this hallway and we started moving the Steinway down and
it would not go as it is much wider than the 88-note player piano was.
Well, we moved it back down into the living room and I told the dealer,
that the only place I had to put the player piano was in the family
room and if it would not go down the hallway, I would have to have him
take it back and refund my money.

The dealer, said, "No problem!  I have been moving player pianos for
over 35 years and we will get it down that hallway."

Well, he tipped the player piano up on the right side on the dolly
and then we pushed the player down the hallway on its side.  Worked
perfectly!  Cleared all the curves of the hallway and went to its place
in the family room.  The moral of the story is that there is more than
one way of moving a piano that is too big for the hallway.
