moving piano
Have you ever seen professional piano movers working with pianos? No? Then I suggest you take a look at the following pictures.
keys, hammers and footAllow me to start from the very beginning.
Ahem.
13 years ago, our car was parked right outside Subang Parade and only my mom got out of the car and proceeded into the building. I asked my dad what this is all about, he said my mom was on her way to pay my piano registration fees.
Oh the shock and excitement, I can still remember vividly. They actually signed me up without first consulting me. Do you think all parents do it that way ah? If yes, their children are the luckiest kids ever.
Fast forward 13 years, here I am, talking to you with a sexy Yamaha baby grand hibernating behind my back.
Okay. Enough of storytelling. Let's do picturetalking.
THE PIANO-MOVING PROCESS

And voila!
at the end of the dayIt's like watching the birth of a child right? Sigh, so memorable. Had to keep the tears from streaming down my cheeks. Just kidding lah.
You might wonder, what's the difference between a normal upright piano and a baby grand? I can tell you firstly it's the shape. Jokes aside, the shape matters because a bigger harp could be laid inside the piano. The taller (for uprights) or longer (for grands) the piano, in most cases, the more expensive it is.
hammers hit the harpAlso, bigger harps have longer strings and therefore producing richer tones. Although the Yamaha GB1 is probably a Kancil in terms of car-talk (it's the cheapest and smallest baby grand you could find), the sound quality itself is way above my first upright piano. So...yeah, that makes me a very very happy piano player.
And probably, the luckiest girl in town at the moment.
