yes, they are basically permanent installations, unless you are willing to blow a thousand or two on somebody who actually knows how to move them

unless it's an antique or you actually *want* it, there's absolutely no reason to not just take it to the dump.

My dad's house has an upright piano he got from somewhere in the family when I used to play as a kid and it was gradually collapsing the house. He had to add a support beam in the basement for it. We were going to give it away but it was too hard to figure out how to move it.
It's a pretty nice old piano still in good shape, but it's just a huge waste of space not being used by anyone. It just sits there collecting golden retriever hair and helping the house slowly collapse into the sand they very cleverly built it on in the 1920s.
