Here's the problem - professional piano and organ movers might well be able
to handle a 375 lb organ on steps with fewer than 4 people. But you will not
be getting these kinds of people to move your Hammond.

What YOU will end up with is random stoner kids who work for the moving
company and who have never touched a piano or organ. Or possibly some good
friends whom you can cajole into helping. Do you want to find out that your
planning was inadequate only after somebody ends up crushed or your brand
new irreplaceable baby gets nicked up?

When I moved mine into the basement, the movers sent 3 of the aforementioned
stoners, not the 4 I asked for. I made them get a 4th person before we
moved it, and it was a good thing I did. It took all their strength to take
it down the steps in a controlled manner.
