(Had to take the back seat apart to find the dang thing -- man I'd hate to get a flat tire with all my piano stuff in the back) Scissor jack does offer the most control. Most recently, I put on a set of caster brakes with a piece of 4x4 scrap and used myself for the jack easily as pie. Got underneath and did the "push up" type lift and supported the piano with one arm and slid the 4x4 under the end of the truck with the other. Don't know if I could do it with a heavy piano. This was only a Yamaha G2.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Jeff</DIV><BR><BR><DIV> <SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><DIV>Jeff Tanner, RPT</DIV><DIV>University of South Carolina</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"></SPAN> </DIV><BR></BODY></HTML>
