I went a slightly different route here. After a while, the cord 
starts showing the wire from the piano being run over it.  It's very 
unsafe at that point!!  I cut the cord fairly short and put a new 
plug on the end, coiled it up to form a strain relief attached to a 
back post and got a supply of extension cords. Lots easier (and 
quicker) to swap extension cords when the old one shows copper.

One of the faculty made a cloth sack which hangs on one of the lid 
hinges and holds the rolled up extension cord. If the folks really 
want to hide the cord during the concert/recital they can.
