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.
