The thing about benches must be a dealer decision, we always get benches here. I do usually have to assemble them although. I am also trying something new this year to help with the scratches. I use the polyfoam material that the piano comes packed in to wrap the piano lid (P-22) and the bench lid. Remove lid from hinges, wrap lid with polyfoam, then cover the polyfoam with wide clear package shipping tape. Avoid sticking tape to finish. Reinstall lid on hinges. Remove wrapping before the next sale.

The WSU School of Music is currently entering the first year of a "loan program" with the local Yamaha dealership. The ten pianos for this year were delivered three weeks ago. The dealer called yesterday asking that all the benches for those pianos be returned to the dealership as they had been sent out with the pianos by mistake. I don't know about other institutions but, here at WSU, we have a definite bench shortage (!) and I'm wondering whether benches are normally excluded from these loan programs. If your institution is involved in such a loan program, do you get the use of the benches as well, or does the dealer retain them??
