Hi Jeff, > We have locks on our two Steinway concert grands, but over the years >the number of people who have keys I believe may outnumber those who >mechanism. Any experience/preference with these two? Are there other >options to consider? We would obviously like to have multiple keys >available, but some control of distribution/dupliction of those keys. >Any ideas on how you work that would also be appreciated. Thanks Sorry about the late reply, but I'm catching up. We went to locking covers. It has the double advantage of securing the piano _and_ keeping the cover on. We use the heavy padded covers from Instrument Covers in Salem, OR (800) 274-4543. They have an option of a cable lock that uses a padlock. As it comes, it's not foolproof - you can get it off if you're determined. But I had our machine shop lead look at it and he has some suggestions that I think would make it entirely secure.
