Check out the "Piano Wrangler". Steve Brady gave it a mention in the Spring
NAMM write-up, and it was exhibited at Arlington. Around $600, but the perfect
too for the job. Feeling handy? Lowell Wakker (LDWakker@aol.com) will sell
($20) you his blueprints for tools to do the job (essentially a cam he
attaches to the piano keybed/frame). Lowell gave a class (on one man piano
moving) at Arlington, and the inventor of the Wrangler showed off his stuff
during the class (he's got a video).

Good luck,
