I would like to know if I will be able to lift my upright piano with this product. Thanks!

We moved an upright piano, but it can make a difference on the type of surface you are moving across. We had it on carpet and temporarily moved the piano to a tile floor, then moved it back. Piano is on casters and lifting onto pads was difficult, number one, but once we had the pads positioned, it was possible. The pads tended to slide off when moving from carpet, so we were repositioning the four pads when each would come away from the piano casters. Using the pads was immeasurably easier using the pads than lifting and carrying the piano. So....yes, they are useful for moving an upright piano.

It should work, but the great thing about amazon is you can return the item if its not what you were looking for.-10 years of piano experience and a Major in Music

Hi David,I like this stand very much. It's light weight, no tools needed to set up or break down, and my piano stays put even when I play with a heavy hand. I have a Yamaha P-35. 88 keys. 52 3/16 (L) x 11 5/8 (D) x 6 1/16 (H) WEIGHT 25.6 LBS. I hope this was helpful.Judy T.

It is "music wire" and should be fine on a piano for the higher notes that do not have wrapped strings. It should also be fine for multiple string notes as long as the wire diameter is correct.

I don't think so. It's like a regular keyboard, not heavy like a piano. It's more like a child's toy. But great for beginners like me. I'm an adult.

Actually, I just used them last month to move an upright piano. Even with furniture slides this still an unpleasant task, but they did make easier.

my piano is a yamaha conservatory grand. I don't think it will work on an upright because the clamp woudn't open far enough. Before I got this I used a regular task type with a base that was free standing and adjustable. That would work for you. Good luck!

Probably not, unless your upright piano is an older style that still has a music desk with a full piece of wood backing that your music rests against. You need the vertical piece of wood to clamp it onto.

If it is on a stand (as opposed to the cabinet-type that is more like a real piano) it should work fine. If you have the cabinet-type, I don't know if it would have anything on the ends to keep it in place.

It is very straight forward, but keep in mind that the gain you get in lifting power shrinks the distance you can lift, or requires a long rope. The standard 75 feet of rope that comes with it allows a lift of about 8 feet. Also, there is no brake, so if you let go, your load will drop. I use mine to lift iron plates out of pianos and it works fine. I got a jam cleat out of West Marine to serve as a way of quickly holding a load in place. You can use any way you like to tie things off once lifted, but I find this convenient.

This is super unstable. I'm a classic piano player. You can't hit the keyboard hard while playing. I can't recommend this. You should choose stand made by keyboard producer. I bought Yamaha stand after I found this can't be used even for basic use.

I do not know. It's a sturdy/strong stand..but unfortunately it's higher than Standard Piano height..which is a pain because I don't stand to play...I use a piano bench. (The lowest setting on it is about 3 to 4 inches higher than standard piano height) I had to end up buying a taller/adjustable stool.

I don't know that you would be able to reach the piano very well while wearing this. Not to mention sitting with it tends to release some of the tension holding it in place.

I don't see why this wouldn't work for pianos, because it's strength well exceeds the 33,000 psi pressure that is put on the piano harp itself. I am a piano technician and I think i will try this to save money. I read the specs and they match and exceed the same wire bought at higher prices calling themselves "piano/music wire". It's all made pretty much the same, the only difference would be the carbon and strength amounts. This one seems to be like it will work just fine. I will try it and update later.

Chris, I think the specs say. Just to let you know, it is not low enough for a Yamaha P series piano as far as I am concerned. The Yamaha is a real thick keyboard, as keyboards go, about 5-6 inches. Hope this helps.

I have had two total trolleys, and I am satisfied with both of them. I moved some rather large platforms at our church during renovation of our Santuary, and overloaded the trolley in its flat position with approximately 750 lbs., damaging 1 wheel when going over a threshold at an angle. I've moved an upright piano on it successfully several times. It claims 800 lbs. maximum in the flat position, and if it were being used on a totally flat surface, that would probably work. I've used my new one as a hand truck, step stool, and 350 lbs. dolly with the upright handle, fully loaded. They are very serviceable.
