[CAUT] Piano covers

[joel a. jones]

Tony,

I have used Jansen for years.  Good product, rapid turn around, and 
great
people to work with.    Over 30 year I've probably ordered 150 covers 
from Paul.
      1 800 BENCHES

The lighter weight Paul mentions I recommend.  While the thicker 
material
can offer more bump and run protection, it is a dreaded task by pianists
to strain and lift then shift around to put the cover back when 
finished playing.

For easier replacement of the cover I draw some keys on the area of the 
cover that
goes over the keyboard.  Helps reduce the shifting dance that we all do
when fitting the cover back on the piano.

Correct me if I am wrong but I thought Jill was not making covers 
anymore.
Sorry, if I am incorrect.
