Having been in the piano cover business for several years, I have had the opportunity to listen to and help produce covers of some very odd types. Most of the crazier ideas come from people wishing to cover something not related to a piano but there have been some great requests for pianos as well. I thought it might be interesting to write some of those ideas down to get people thinking about other great ways to reinvent piano covers. 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. College Team Logos. I have received quite a few requests to put team logos on piano covers. We are usually able to accommodate these requests and can put the logo right above the keys, on the side panel or even right in the middle of the top of the piano, those are my favorite. Most of the time the logos are easy to work with because we can get pretty good artwork. The only odd work comes in to play when people want us to dye the rest of the cover to match the logo colors. To be true to your school, we have dyed piano covers, gold and red, blue and yellow and even red and white. The piano covers all turn out looking fantastic but it can be a little expensive to get the complete dye job done to a piano cover. House Dcor. Probably the most common reason for an unconventional cover is when the customer wants a piano cover to match the dcor of a certain room in their house. These are the types of clients who tend to not have budget constraints so they are willing to pay a good deal of money to get what they are after. Some of the oddest have been pink and green colors, family plaid patterns, very cool designs for ultra modern music rooms and even request to make a piano cover that will match the pattern of a couch or love seat. Honor a deceased love one with their picture on the piano cover. I have only helped a few people with this request in my career. Through photo technology, we can take a portrait and place that face right on the piano cover, larger than anything you have seen before. The image actually becomes part of the piano cover fabric. Aunt Eileen will be staring right at you every time you walk by the piano and do not sit down to practice your allotted time each day. Hopefully she will have a pleasant smile for you. 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.
