By Chuck R StewartOver the years piano owners have reverted to using many unusual items to cover and protect their valuable investment. Whether the piano is an acquisition saved up for and bought by the homeowner, or an heirloom passed down from Great Grandmas estate, it should be cared for and stored with the proper piano covering. In the past, I have seen many items act as piano coverings.
