What are the differences between a harpsichord and a piano?
A small harpsichord can be lifted easily by one man. The largest of them may require as many as 3 men to lift, but no heavy equipment. A modern upright piano of the smallest sort can be handled by one man with special devices, or two men without. The largest modern grand pianos cannot be lifted without the assistance of hydraulic lifting apparatus or chain-falls, and cannot be moved unless mounted on special large wheels even by 4 or 5 men.
