Yea, I moved that old piano of ours 2 times. When we first bought
it, the wife and I moved it by ourselves. NOT FUN. When we moved
in here, we had it moved, well, we hired movers to move the big
stuff, including the piano. I am sure they were not professional
piano movers. I am sure that thing is so heavy it is causing the
floor to sag where it sits, or at least it seems like it (we have
a crawl space).

I have immersed myself in the piano technician community over the last
few months, and what I have found is rather interesting:
My son is an RPT, and ASE mechanic.
The piano he obtained, no cost, to learn the trade was in the lower
level of a split level house. They guy was ready to take hatchet to
it to get it out of the house - an old upright. He removed much trim
and carpet so the movers could get it out - the movers were the
expense of this piano, you don't want to move a piano - pay a mover.
Old pianos can always be had for nothing, since the real expense is
getting it moved to a new location. Huge, heavy dense, old wood =
real heavy.
