Well of course on occasion movers have to move a piano up a flight of stairs with some tricky turns. I had a rebuild that came back to a just remodeled home and was expressly told not to touch the walls. So the movers picked up the grand piano/on its side/moving board, two on each side and walked it up the steps. Not scratch! Those were the correct tools for that move...
