I'm wondering if there is a way to move our piano up onto the stage, a 3 ft. lift, using a jack or pully type system instead of brute man power. Do you know of any system on the market that may help us?" We thought that you might know of something that would do the trick. Yours, STEINWAY & SONS Stephen K. Dove If you have access to a forklift, they work really well. I've used one to lift a concert grand onto and off a stage. Of course we padded everything well and were very careful. The piano was set up minus the lyre, and we slid the forks under it (a little toward the keyboard side for balance) and lifted it onto the stage. Basically effortless. Russell Norton
