My grandpa got a pool table in his basement in a very similar stair condition. To this day, I have no idea how beyond the fact that he had a come along tied to a 4x4 across the basement door. We just left it down there when we sold the house.

I still have no idea how people get grand pianos into their houses.

the legs come off a grand, they turn it 90d and wheel it on a cart. seen this done, required tall doors tho.

Hmmm interesting. Still sounds very difficult.

it's quite the workout even with a bunch of big guys and the right equipment.

We have that problem with our late parents house. The grand piano was placed into a second-floor room by removing the window casing and using a crane.

We are hoping that the piano will sell with the house.

First they buy and place the piano, THEN they build the house.

This actually happens. Had a relative that bought one of a row of townhouses being built back in the 60s. The company building the houses thought it would be a sweet incentive to include a piano with each one, so now everyones house in that row has a busted old stand up piano in the basement that's impossible to remove without some sort of demolition.
