Piano covers

One thought just occurred to me regarding the grand covers, especially for 
the concert grands being moved on and off the stage, or as in Richard's case, 
between stages. Although we want to keep the covers on the pianos, so as to 
not damage them too much, perhaps we need to recognize the fact that the 
piano covers are there for a purpose, and that is to protect the piano. In 
doing so, however, because of the nature of beast, (the piano), and the 
destructive powers of the deed (the moving), and the make up of the material 
used to protect the beast, (the cover), damage to the latter is a given. So 
instead of trying to figure out how best to keep the cover from being 
damaged, we need to take the attitude that the covers are going to be 
damaged, and take steps accordingly. Buy two at a time, and replace them as 
needed. 

Sooner or later those who dole out the money will see that there is problem, 
and perhaps they will come up with a solution. Some of them that come to 
mind. Larger doors through which to move the pianos. Professional helpers (or 
at least trained monkeys), to move the piano from one place to another. A 
permanent place on the stage for the piano. I am sure there are other 
solutions. But I am not paid to come up them.
