Greatest Piano Cover Ideas and the Familes who Select Them

By: Chuck Stewart

I have been in this business long enough to have received some odd requests for items to be covered, more than just pianos. Most of the ideas are either for items that are odd to have covered or for unique ideas for covering a regular piano. I took the liberty of writing some of my favories in the spaces below, I hope you enjoy them.
Dog House Cover. A woman in Wisconsin called and asked if we could make a custom fitted, waterproof cover that could fit the specifications of her dog house. She and her husband were having a disagreement about their ability to keep their dog as an inside dog because of the damage the dog had done in recent weeks to their belongings when they were both at work during the day. The solution was to leave the dog outside all day but she was concerned about the winter weather (both cold and rain) and wanted us to make a cover that would enclose her dog house. We were able to talk her out of it and to get her to upgrade her dog house to one that is more weather appropriate and we did not hear back from them again.
Logos of Your Favorite Team. Piano Covers are great places for team logos and over the years we have received quite a few requests to bring your favorite team right into your living room. We can place team logos directly above the piano keys, on the side panel, or, my personal favorite, right on the top of the cover in the middle of the piano. The logos are relatively easy to have come out looking great because it is easy to get such great artwork. Sometimes we get asked to do some odd tasks like dyeing the complete cover the same color as the logo. To accommodate those requests we have dyed piano covers white and red, yellow and maize and even gold and green.
The Decor of the House Must Match. One of the most often heard requests is because a customer wants the cover to exactly match a portion of a room in their house. These clients tend to not care as much about the money they will spend as they do about getting the look and feel of a room just right. I have worked with requests to match furniture, some cool family plaids, some very large and high-tech music rooms, and even some odd pink and greens to match a little girls room.
Portrait of a loved one who had passed on and loved to play the piano. I have had this one a few times in my career. We are able to take a portrait and have it blown up to the size of a piano cover. We can then have the portrait embossed right into the fabric. Every time you sit down to play the piano you will be reminded of Aunt Minnie and her love of playing the piano. She will be looking at you with a four foot by five foot face. Hopefully she is smiling.
We can accommodate special requests but the customers need to remember that these custom piano covers take additional and many times will cost five to eight times the cost of a traditional piano cover. Personally, I am partial to a traditional black or brown vinyl cover, but I have never been considered a trendy kind of guy.
