Do the first dead lift with a heave past the 6.5 inch height of the box and simply continue to the balance point. With legs/chest and momentum you will have the piano at its balance point in a moment where you can control it with one hand. A helper can pull back at the other end with foot at bottom. I am in agreement with all that has been said and have used these ideas for years depending on the piano. I would like to add that if one is working alone and you are dealing with a spinet or console simply squat down at the end of the piano with your back straight, arms straight and hands (with gloves on) under the end of the piano. Using your legs stand up and slip your thigh under the bottom of the piano,the piano is now resting on your thigh. You have the dollie standing on its end next to the piano or leaning against the piano its self. My point is you do not want to have the dollie on its four wheels, stand it on its end so its easyer to grab and you do not need to bend down as far. Slip the dollie under the piano. Because every moving situation is different and pianos have different weight, this is simply another option.
