STEP IV:  Lower the piano gently until it is resting on the front leg and the
                bass end of the case, then slowly lift from the treble end
until the
                piano is comfortably and securely resting on its side.

STEP V:   Drink the still-steaming coffee brought back by your helper.

and I have
