Tilting piano

[Alan Barnard]

This sounds like the best approach. How do you tilt it on it's side? How do you protect the bottom of the sides from stressing, breaking, or crushing?

Stand the piano on end, remove dollies...set back on casters...proceed as normal.

Hi,

I need to do a little bit of bridge repair on this piano and want to tilt it.  I've never tilted an instrument with this type of dolly.  Do I prop the piano up on some 4x4s (or whatever) first and then tilt?  
  
Thanks,
