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 <http://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.
