You may want to consider an Edwards String Cover also. Great product, and good for keeping your strings and everything else looking nice and new. I have one in a Yamaha C7 that I rent and I'm amazed at how well the cover keeps the strings from tarnishing and it seems to help keep the tuning stable too. I attached velcro to one side of it and the piano so when the piano is being stored in the road case the string cover is still in place. My wife and I will be getting our first grand piano in Dec. and I plan on installing both a Dampp Chaser and Edwards String Cover. Good luck .
