Odd Requests for Piano Covers

Over the years I have received some odd requests from people with request for covering much more than pianos. The requests have been to cover either odd items or odd patterns to cover a traditional piano. I have taken a few moments to list some of my favorites in the paragraphs that follow.
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.
Team Logos. We have lots of requests to put team logos on covers. We can put them on the front part of the cover, directly above the keys, we can put them on the side cover and we can place them in a larger setting directly on the top of the piano. The logo requests are relatively easy to do because most of the time we can get pretty good artwork. The tricky part of the request is when people ask us to dye the cover to match the team colors. We have done them in Black and Red, Blue and Gold, Red and White and even Purple and Yellow. Dyeing a piano cover can be pretty expensive, but the piano covers did look terrific.
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.
Place a picture on the piano cover of a loved one who has passed. This request has come up a handful of times over the last several years. Technology for photos has advanced to the point where a picture can be taken and blown up to fit on a piano cover. The image then is woven right into the fabric. Each time you place a drink on the piano, your aunt will be looking at you to keep you in line. Hopefully she is laughing as she does it.
Custom covers take extra time and money to complete, sometimes as much as five to eight times what a regular cover will cost. Myself, I tend to like a regular old brown or black vinyl piano cover, but then I have never thought of myself as a flashy person.
