[CAUT] piano covers

[joel a. jones]

Henry,

I  have used covers of every thickness from Paul Jansen.      Web page 
http://www.pljansen.com/
They will also make custom sizes and with a variety of materials.   
Mentioning thick covers I
recently ordered a cover from Paul made of vinyl.   The thick cover on 
the piano was too heavy
for students and faculty to comfortably lift and place on the piano, so 
we ordered the lighter vinyl
  material.   Time will tell if the cover is replaced on the piano more 
often than before, but that
problem has been eliminated.

I have noticed that the cover has been on when I have checked, not the 
usual situation
in prior years.

Additionally we asked for the cover to be long enough on the sides to 
drape to the floor.  Not enough
time has passed, but I think this has helped the humidity system 
control the pitch and tuning.
Again, time will tell.

This is what I recommend.  Hope this gives you some ideas you can apply 
to your situation.
