Thanks for the tip sir! I was wondering would it work the same (especially with the balance) if I use a highlift jack, and maybe a piece of wood on the bottom and one on the top?

How much piano weight I wonder will it work for pooltable

A car jack is capable of lifting at least 1,500 lbs, so this method will work on a pool table easily.

I was worried about the wood on the carpet collapsing!

I've done this quite a few times on multiple surfaces and never had any problem.

You’re a gambler using 2x4’s which have such a narrow profile. Make a small frame out of 2x6’s about 18 inches high reinforce the corners with prefabbed angle braces and then bolt your scissor Jack to the top. Then you’ll have some stability. Cut some small sections of 2x6’s to use on the top of the Jack and place up against the bottom of the piano. It’s just a matter of time before your 2x4’s aren’t aligned and you’ll end up crushed or have a horribly damaged piano or both. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
