Conrad, 
Does your German have a lock on the piano?  This locks both the lid and
fallboard.  This has been workable for us.
    Order a padded cover from Jansen (without straps) and add a tag on one
end so you quickly identify how to put the cover on.  Otherwise, we find the
covers put on inside out etc.  We sew and glue a bit of white material cut
like a key for the keyboard end.   Even I put the cover on faster.
    The straps  will constantly ding the finish .
