Good morning list, The macintosh covers on our concert grands are tearing all to pieces. They're also not protecting the pianos as well as I'd like, particularly since I installed caster brakes on the trucks. So, I need to order new covers. Which ones do you suggest? At another university where I used to work, they had what appeared to be an all cotton cover which had the grommets around the edges. It was particularly heavy, but did a much better job of protecting the piano. But I don't find this cover described in the catalogs unless it is the one in the Schaff (48A or B) and Jansen (J48B) catalogs described as "black heavy duty close-weaved duck, padded with cotton filling". Schaff's "piano mover's cover" (49) is only for pianos up to 7'. I ordered the "black vinyl" (BLV) with the fleece lining from APSCO for an S&S B I service in a church, but I'm not sure that's what I want in this application. I remember the thread where it was discussed that heavy covers tend not to get replaced. But the lids of our concert grands are being beaten to a frazzle against columns on our stage. Which cover do you recommend? Thanks, Jeff Jeff Tanner Piano Technician School of Music University of South Carolina Columbia, SC 29208 (803)-777-4392 (phone)
