450lbs… that’s approaching piano territory. Smaller grands are 600 or so, with a full sized concert 9fter being 900-1100.

And $40K, which will comfortably buy you a grand piano

Yeah but Doom 2 would look much nicer on that than on a piano.

When I see that weight, I think "medium-sized car engine". Not too difficult to move around with an engine hoist.

It’s not so much the moving it… it’s that it’s heavy enough that “can this floor/piece of furniture support this” becomes very relevant.
