I'd second the recommendation of Paul Jansen covers. We just got a new one for our D+ and it's a nylon thickly padded cover. It's much lighter in weight than the cotton ones so no one has an excuse not to put it back on the piano. dp David M. Porritt, RPT dporritt at smu.edu From: caut-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:caut-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of joel a. jones Sent: Tuesday, October 07, 2008 11:03 PM To: College and University Technicians Subject: Re: [CAUT] piano covers 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.
