Hi Joel,

I believe you will be very happy with the results of the floor length cover,
I have installed 3 of them from Jansen, all of the standard black macintosh,
on church pianos and had excellent results with the stability of those
pianos, all with full Dampp-Chaser installations of course.

I will also add to the chorus of recommendations for the Paul Jansen
company's covers. I have also seen their vinyl and quilted covers and talked
with them personally when I had a question or special need and always found
them extremely accommodating.

Mike
