I can VERY EASILY tilt my 54" Mason = & Hamlin (I swear the piano weights at least 14,000 lbs.) upright back = and set it back up. It is amazing how balanced they are. You have enough = of you to do this easily. I first saw a tilting demonstration at one of = the conferences in a hands-on workshop. A very slightly built young lady = did the demonstration with an old upright. No sweat. They really work, = and used properly (just be sure to get the tilter feet under the piano - = I also secure the piano to the tilter with a good nylon strap tightend = with a ratchet), they are very safe. One person does it all.
