An upright piano is 24–26" deep and fits through most doors depth-first. A grand piano needs a 36"+ doorway — or window hoisting.
Whether it fits comes down to the measurements most people skip.
Real openings run about 1 to 2 inches under the labeled size, and a single inch can flip the result. Check your own measurements before you buy or move.
