A few things needed

I had to move my piano two years ago. There were only two people in Kuwait (both have shops in Hawally). One said can’t move my piano cuz its too big and the other one (who appears to have been previous partner in the first shop) offered to move my piano.

I wish I remember his name or have his phone available to warn you of him!

He was big talker, talked about all the grand pianos he moved and all the wealthy houses he’s been into. He also talked about all the music that he wrote and offered to give me piano lessons after we’re done with moving the piano.

All he had to do is take the piano from ground floor to the first floor.

I had this Piano in the family since the 80s, its a large KAWAI and moved through three houses over the past three decades. Never been moved by a music professional, just handy men off the street. However this time, because the staircase is narrow, we had to disassemble parts of the piano to make it lighter.

This dude, Mr Know it all, offered to bring his own ‘professional’ men to help with the move and suggested that I not bring any men from the street.

He ended up bringing his cousins/flatmates. No muscles, just large bellies. he wrapped the piano with his blanket (which he probably still use on his bed) and lifted my piano to my office room on the first floor in pieces. literally in pieces… he ended up gluing some parts… the piano no longer sounds like piano. and the bastard was shameless and asked for his fee. i smiled and paid him, though inside me i wanted to stab him with back of piano hammer in his ear.
