Door jamb guards- was Steinway B Cover

[Dean May]

Make a sacrificial piece of wood  with rounded edges that screws to the
bottom of the keybed and sticks out 1/2" further than anything else on the
piano. Stain it and put an oil finish on it. This is what will hit the door
jamb instead of anything else on the piano, sacrificing itself and saving
the piano. It really does work. The stain/oil finish will be more forgiving
than lacquer and easier to touch up.

At the school where I work we have some narrow passages through which our
performance pianos must routinely travel  :

around the perimeter of the lid.  This has really saved a lot of wear and
tear on both the cover and the piano (from being dragged against doorjambs).

I have secured the money to purchase 3 padded grand piano covers for some
Steinway Bs that we use on stage.  Any suggestions as far as vendors?
Anyone had good luck/bad luck/no luck with a particular one.  What about
design...slit sides at the keyboard, etc. These will be rolled through a
narrow hallway and make some interesting turns to get back and forth to the
Theatre (oh for our own concert hall!). I need the information as soon as
possible since the money will disappear quickly.

 

Joy!
