Edward String Covers

[BRETT GLASS]

Aloha, My wife makes all of my string covers. I supply her with the
templates and she makes them up. But we get $300 retail for each one
including me delivering it. I know that sounds high but the value is
there when you consider the cost of new strings every 10 or 12 years for
your Grand piano setting in an open house by the ocean.  What would you
be willing to pay for them. I'm sure she would rather stay home and make
covers than work a job somewhere. Of course you would need to send a
template for anything I don't have on file yet. Check my web site for a
list of templates on file.  www.bgpianoman.com We use Schaff felt and
they have a fancy gold stitch with a finished boarder. The rod pockets
are fixed in place no Velcro. I never did like that on covers. Every time
a customer takes it off they end up messed up. On ours you can just slide
the dowel rod out of the pocket if your going to clean it. For now we are
not offering to add embroidery of piano name. We have a small machine big
enough to stitch out a name about 7.5 inches long, but we are not sure
about trade mark or copy rights. Plus I have not had a customer ask for
it unless I bring it up. If anyone knows a better sourse for the felt let
me know. I think Schaff costs about 16 or 17 $$ per yard. Brett
