It isn't a piano but has a similar shape/profile, approx 1m wide, 1.5m high and 0.8m at its deepest point.
Weight is probably about 300kg.
How would you go about getting this into a basement, only access is stairs? Short of recruiting a load of blokes or sliding it down on some smooth wood I am stuck for ideas.
Lay planks or similar down, firmly fixed so they cannot move. Then buy a good length of rope. Lash one end of rope around said object so it cannot slip off. Your next trick is to find something sufficiently strong at the top, to take the weight during the descent - length of 3 x 3 across a door opening or window opening, tree outside, or similar. If it is a long distance away use a second rope to form a loop around the object too pass the first rope through loose end of rope one goes down in the basement with heavy person attached o slow the descent, whilst 'a n other' gently guides it from above.
Good luck should you need to get it back up the stairs lol
Grytpype-Thynne: All in good time, laddy. Now first, will you sign this contract, in which you guarantee to move the piano from one room to another for five pounds.
Have you considered using a specialist firm of piano movers? Not only would they have the necessary expertise, but in the unlikely event of something going wrong, they would be insured.
is it just a question of weight etc or are you uncertain whether it can actually be fitten down the staiors? Why not make a lightweight copy to check how to get it down there.
