@inthehands did you ever hire a piano mover and had them show up without any suitable means of moving a piano, clearly having never been in the same room as a piano before let alone moved one, it is just some thing they wrote in a newspaper classified? It does happen n=1

@screwlisp @inthehands n+1 here! Parents hired a professional moving company (household name) in the 1990s. They sent someone to run up a quotation for a full house move from our two storey flat-above-the-shop home. Told them we had an upright piano & showed it to them. On the day they sent two clueless guys. Fun times. A few hours later another two guys turned up and they still struggled to get it down the stairs. Asked, "How did you get it up there?"
"Your company."
@screwlisp @inthehands Can 100% confirm it never sounded the same after that!
@FionaCraig @screwlisp @inthehands Did you get these guys?
@tokensane @screwlisp @inthehands 🤣 Very close!
@screwlisp
I've shown up to a gig and been told I'm moving a piano that day 😅
