After a while, the cord starts showing the wire from the piano being run over it. It's very unsafe at that point!! I cut the cord fairly short and put a new plug on the end, coiled it up to form a strain relief attached to a back post and got a supply of extension cords. Lots easier (and quicker) to swap extension cords when the old one shows copper. One of the faculty made a cloth sack which hangs on one of the lid hinges and holds the rolled up extension cord. If the folks really want to hide the cord during the concert/recital they can.
