Thump, I'd suggest a sling. In my recent hoist I used 3 of them (overkill) going through the straps that I used to fix the grand to the skid and dolly. If you had the right size sling and protected the piano well enough that might be all you need. I gathered mine all into the hook for the hoist but I don't think you'd really need as many as I used. Good luck! Let us know how it goes. Take pictures!!
