I think I know how it was done.
I'm pretty sure that they took down the railings on the stairwell and had some ridiculously strong farmer types macho them up the stairs one at a time. There aren't any windows on that floor big enough to lift them through.

I intend to keep one piano harp intact for myself, and getting that out of there will be bad enough- I think I will have to build a friction brake to put in a doorway. It will be something of an engineering challenge.
