<DIV>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. <A
href="http://www.bgpianoman.com/">www.bgpianoman.com</A> 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.</DIV>
