music rack tray

[Michael Spalding]

Brian,

You could glue a piece of fabric over it.  Felt will do, but Utrasuede is even better.

I've used it to replace worn-out felt, glueing directly to the wood, and also in situations like yours, glueing to the lacquer finish.  PVCE.

Hello List,
 
There is a church piano, baby grand, that has very shallow grooves in the tray of the music rack.  I imagine that the grooves are supposed to help keep the music from sliding off.
 
These grooves are so shallow that they are almost useless.
 
Besides cutting new grooves in the wood, what other options do you have so that the music rack can become more functional and music can stay on the piano?
 
Thanks.
