Thanks Terry,
I had been dreaming of something like that for a long time.
One day the movers came and delivered a customer's piano for me to rebuild.
I asked them to put it on my old shop dolly .
They were going to pick up the piano, and flip it down horizontally in their
hands!!!
The guy says to me.. ." ok, when it comes over, you catch it, ok? "
I freaked.
Said, no thanks, just leave it on it's side!!
That was last December, and I decided I had to have a safer way to do it.
I have a really small shop, with 10 grands on wheeled skid boards.

Being able to tilt a grand easily has made has given me a little more
flexibility and peace of mind.
If you ever want my notes, I'd be happy to share, although they are somewhat
fragmented.
 It's always an adventure to design and build something like this.
No matter how much you plan, the prototype teaches you things you couldn't
quite picture in the design phase.

 Best regards,
Brad Smith

  Awesome dude! Thanks for sharing the pictures. Great idea. I'm going to
have to give this a little thought!

    You could build you one like mine.
    It not only transports, but tilts the piano over onto it's side very
safely.
