The information is very thorough, but I did feel like I had something to add on jacks. I have a machinist that has helped me with the idea and have a few of these jacks. I have taken a Fulton screw jack, like you would see on a boat trailer, cut the wheel off and put a plate on the bottom. Then just take a small pipe and plate and weld to the top, put a chair leg rubber end on it and it stays fine. I think the overall height is about 21". It's been awhile, just make sure that your jack handle will turn when it is under the piano. It is the slickest thing I have ever seen for this. It just takes one jack and a couple of pieces of 2X4. No lifting, no hassles, great for leg repair. Stick it under the piano and crank a couple of turns, it is all one piece and very easy to carry, takes up almost no room in the truck, and lifts 2000 lbs. Phil Mosley worn out string puller Phil, Thanks for your contribution, but I'm having trouble visualizing this setup. `Possible pictures to illustrate?
