i'm a mover. ive moved many pianos. and thought this coment was wrote poorly. but, holy $#i+! That was Masterifly done! I was worried one of your guy's was going to get crushed at one point, but your made it!! I've definitely taken something from this video. 🤙
This is unbelievable, you two are so incredibly strong! I have a piano coming this afternoon with a lot of stairs involved. I'm terrified for the movers!
@@Giankarlo2805 oof honestly if i had to move a piano upstairs id be terrified that it would fall back wards and hit me or someone else like most people would
That's a spinet, 450 pounds, 40 to 46 inches high. Full uprights are 700+, 54 inches high. I'm 6'4" 265 pounds and I move over 1000 pianos a year. Full uprights get slid up stairs on boards. You strap a full upright and you're not long for this business.
John is right. While most pianos take up a similar footprint, uprights are called uprights because they're technically GRAND PIANOS IN AN UPRIGHT FORMAT or position.
Respect for those 2 guys They’re doing their work right and they deserve huge tip so hopefully customer is took appreciated them and notices gives them credit
I have the same size piano and need it brought down a flight of stairs.. , takes some good strength for sure , they are good and take their time not rushing and hitting walls... very good ~
Wish I had you guys as movers for my piano. The ones I’m dealing with say my piano which is similar in size to this one can’t make it up my apartment. I really don’t want to give away my piano.
Made it look easy. Good job guys. Yup that's a spinnet piano. Not as big as a full size. They are heavy also. Not as much as a regular upright or a player piano. I've used one other guy and done a deadlift. Nearly killed myself. I now use appliance dollies.
We move pianos everyday. Take it from us that you guys really know what you are doing. I have seen your other videos and you guys are amazing (Almost crazy I must say). But why to make it so hard. We use "Shoulder dolly/straps" but not for Pianos. "External Step" is such a simple solution to almost all the stairs. You carry an small skid equivalent to a step of the staircase (which can be adjusted to match height). All you need is lift one step up on a dolly and then slide an equivalent step to match the step of the staircase. Rest the dolly and then repeat till you are up. Opposite process on the way down. Irrespective of my suggestion, you guys are mind blowing. Taking a piano up with Shoulder Dolly (shoulder straps) needs courage, power and more importantly skills and experience. And you guys have it all.
@@EternaMusicProductions▪️ Forearm dollies are good for certain situations thou. But yea most of the time shoulder straps are the way to go. Most of the RubberNecks i work with don't like using them. Guess it makes em feel tougher or something... 🟥
I reckon its a reasonable way to move a low-backed upright like that but a high-backed upright is a lot heavier & bigger and there's a far better way to do it with two people. I move pianos fulltime and speak from hard earned experience. Piano moving is maybe 60% technique and 40% strength. No professionals I've ever met use the above method but it looks like a decent way to move a small upright, especially if doing a one-off. (you need plenty more gear to do it properly: eg standard piano moving trolley for a start)
I am thinking about to move an upright piano (Nordiska Futura) from 1st floor down (1 level). Is that possible with 2 persons? Piano weighs around 190 kilo. Would you recommend to disassemble it? I am technically talented. However... I am not a piano-expert. Any advice?
How many kg was that piano? Couldn't be more then 150 kg. Because I know they very between 150 to 300 kg. I remember I moved a 300 kg one and that was hella heavy. Cant lift it up on the side like u did. But I think with a 150 one u can.
Ou, you operate in the US? I thought you gus where south American, maybe Mexico or something. I operate in the EU. Mainly with the Finnish clients. I do international moves. From country to country. Been to Spain, Barcelona, several times. PS: The french suck, never go there. U'll lose all ur money. Police are A-holes.
Upright piano: Also known as a Spinet piano, this is your standard piano that you might find in a school's music room, one with a flat back that stands upright. On average, one of these pianos might weigh anywhere from 300-350 pounds.
i dont know much about moving a piano but why wouldnt they just pad the steps up and take it one step at atime... pad on the piano will not stop chip in a high glossand it is not like a dresser with the harp weight to the back, could get by on a spinet like this (36 inches tall and maybe touching 300 lbs at most .. from the old full size player uprights to spinets , can just pick it one step at a time and take your time ., or if tight overhead just put it on a piano skid board and slide up padded steps? ... but then again what would i know about pianos , i am just a moving fan, not a mover
Guy on the bottom needs to put his shoulder into it - that arm stuff is not going to handle much bigger than a spinet, and his back is at risk like that. With better technique, two guys can handle almost any piano.
What poses a person to move a piano up the stairs is beyond me it’s just because the lazy customer dosent want to do it themselves STOP MOVING PIANOS UPSTAIRS!!!

@@Adelicows Exactly. I'm a piano mover & I'd pretty much be out of a job if people didn't want pianos moved upstairs - at least it's what I spend a lot of time doing. Ground floor moves are easier but it's no massive problem for 2 or 3 guys to get a piano up some stairs. Even a tricky move would take maybe 1 and half hours max
No trick to this. Just two extremely strong hard working fellas. I hope you folks get paid very well.
Your more than worth it.
Trying to move a piano from my garage to the house… learning loads
Wow, I never seen a piano moved up the stairs with a strap like that, What a great technique! Well done guys!

I used these straps when I worked at Lowe’s. We moved big fridges and washer/dryers. Leverage is a hell of a thing. Rock me, Archimedes

John LeVasseur sliding something that heavy on the surface of someone’s flooring or stairs is never ok.
I tried to lift a 1920s full upright. I lifted and 2 people on the other side. We took 1 step and our backs hurt bad. Im 6'5 230

What are the name of that strapping system?
So useful
These straps are called "shoulder dollies or straps"
I want to know why the wide rope below does not slip when lifting it.
Well done guys!
Good job fellas
Increible! Bien hecho!
Nice job guys..
How long have y'all been using the shoulder Dolly and have y'all tried the forearm dolly
Forearm dolly is terrible. I am a professional mover and the shoulder dolly system is a game changer.
@@EternaMusicProductions▪️

The piano they moved looked very light the way hey just lifted it into its side
Pure mexican power!
Glad i watched 5 minutes of someone wrapping the piano. ..

You about right, here in USA the weight is 300lbs

That's a spinnet piano, not an upright. Just sayin'
Its a low back upright piano
Upright piano: Also known as a Spinet piano, this is your standard piano that you might find in a school's music room, one with a flat back that stands upright. On average, one of these pianos might weigh anywhere from 300-350 pounds.
So like a Sony Trinitron lol
doesn't matter spinnet or upright, it is hella heavy.
WOW!
I must say, one tiny mis-step the guy on the bottom is toast. These are heavy items.
▪️
Yea i work with some stoners and this type of thing worries me sometimes...
🟥
gotta be careful those legs will snap right in half when tilt the piano
▪️
If i brake the legs, then i will get my screw gun and put some crutches on the piano so it can still walk.

put it on a small grand board and slide it up, you can stop each step, and you dont have to dead lift it hahahaha
Keaton Massey agree we'll try next time
What’s funny is dat nobody knows what there were talking about in the beginning of the video 😂😂🤣
I know!!
@@victoriasmith4208 me too
this is not even legal in Italy. Movers can carry 25 kg each
Two brawny movers. Not just anyone could do it that way.
wow
if is the big one ,the real big , you need 3 people right
Thats why these guys traffic pain killers
The screwdriver is worth more than the piano, waisted plastic!

Slightly heavier piano and these guys will injure their backs, but they did well
