How often do you need a jack-in -the-box?

[pnotnr at aol.com]

You could make a simple "T" with a 24" and 12" piece of 2x4.  Two people should be able to lift the corner of the piano high enough to set this underneath.  
 
You could also just set blocks under each leg to raise the piano high enough to get the lyre on.

Greetings,
 
          I have this job a guy wants to attatch the pedal lyre, but the piano has no casters and isnt high enough to do so. I am just wondering if I should refer the job to another tuner in our chapter, who has the jack, since I wont be able to make the money back for buying the jack on the first job. Is it worth buying? Is there a big call for this type of work, or will the thing just sit? Is there a "home made way" of doing this job?
