The basic procedure of moving a grand piano one is to put its flat side of the piano on a skid board. To do this, the front leg at the bass end of the piano must be removed first. Then the bass corner of the piano must be lowered onto the skid board. There are two ways to get to this point. Some people remove the lyre and the leg and then lower that corner and down the skid board. Others leave the lyre in place and use it as a pivot point to lower the bass corner onto the skid board.
