[CAUT] Piano covers

[Randy Chastain]

I did an appraisal for a woman's Steinway grand up in Marin county,  
San Francisco area  a few years ago. She had  vinyl covering the top.  
When I took it off not only had the veneer started coming off but the  
core wood had cracked clear through. It is a problem finding a  
material that protects from wear and moisture from, lets say glasses,  
and also let the area breath. I guess you'd have to look at the  
situation and see what would be the best call.

I have just started making string covers for my clients. Finding the  
proper balance and keeping it more affordable takes some work. Two of  
my teacher clients want a cover for the top. I'm just starting to look  
into it.Any other ideas?
