Hi Ryan, Damppchaser has been selling back covers for upgrights for years. This cover greatly improve the stability of most instruments so that the pitch at A4 may drift less than 1 cent in a year. They also have a bottom cover for grands. I will not install a DC grand system without a bottom cover.
