Custom Covers

[Joel A. Jones]

Avery,

Kristina Anderson had a mini-tech in Chicago'02
on a cover system that allowed the lid to be lifted
etc.   As I remember she used the heavy padded
material which was waterproofed.    It was not your B flat
  cover, but divided into sections.

The web site listed in the directory is not active, but
check her phone and email.

Jansen  can also custom design a cover.
pljansen.com or 1 800 benches.

Somewhere I remember seeing covers for
the music desk and rack.

Good luck.  Let us know if it actually keeps
the finish in new condition.

Joel
