Jim, Are you moving these pianos solo? My help and I just dead lift any upright onto a 4 wheel dolly. On the rare occasions when I have to lift from one end I use a burst of power that gets the piano up to balance point in one fell swoop. I wish you luck in finding some type of contraption to do what you ask.

Once I get it up where I can regain my purchase, I can easily lift it up the rest of the way to where the dolly will fit under the middle of the piano. Do any of you know of any type of lever system that would lift the piano that first amount? It needs to be portable and easy to use. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
