Hi Alan,

Upgrade the install by using a staple gun to fasten the velcro to the wood
of the piano permanetly. Use a "paper" staple on the cloth for the same
reason. Use two paper staples per square. Keep the big thumb tacks in their
box.

You will find that the undercover improves response on the DC system
dramatically.
