[CAUT] Locking piano cover

[Aaron Bousel]

Thanks for this info. Two more questions:
Except for when I'm servicing the piano this cover will be removed 
and replaced by faculty and possibly students. Is it easy enough to do?

Also, what is the chance of damaging the case when removing/replacing 
the cover?

thanks,
Aaron
