[CAUT] piano covers

[Porritt, David]

I'd second the recommendation of Paul Jansen covers.  We just got a new
one for our D+ and it's a nylon thickly padded cover.  It's much lighter
in weight than the cotton ones so no one has an excuse not to put it
back on the piano.

Henry, 

 

I have used covers of every thickness from Paul Jansen. Web page
http://www.pljansen.com/ 

They will also make custom sizes and with a variety of materials.
Mentioning thick covers I 

recently ordered a cover from Paul made of vinyl. The thick cover on the
piano was too heavy 

for students and faculty to comfortably lift and place on the piano, so
we ordered the lighter vinyl 

material. Time will tell if the cover is replaced on the piano more
often than before, but that 

problem has been eliminated. 

 

I have noticed that the cover has been on when I have checked, not the
usual situation 

in prior years. 

 

Additionally we asked for the cover to be long enough on the sides to
drape to the floor. Not enough 

time has passed, but I think this has helped the humidity system control
the pitch and tuning. 

Again, time will tell. 

 

This is what I recommend. Hope this gives you some ideas you can apply
to your situation.
