Nice idea, Jon, and an excellent idea for those who should utilize it.

Myself, I just come around to one side of the tilter if no one else is  
available, lift the piano with the handle provided in the rear of the  
piano and use my foot to ease/slide the tilter underneath, then go  
around to the other side of the tilter and do the same thing again.  
Reverse order to remove the tilter.

I made a video clip should you or anyone else be interested in viewing  
how I tilted a large upright.
