Protecting Your Upright Piano: What to Know Before Choosing a Cover

An upright piano is an investment worth protecting. Whether you own a compact spinet, a studio upright, or a full-size upright piano, the right cover will shield it from dust, sunlight, temperature changes, and everyday wear. Unlike grand pianos, uprights sit closer to walls and furniture, which means they’re more prone to damage from accidental bumps, pet activity, and environmental changes.

A properly fitted upright piano cover not only protects your piano’s finish but also helps maintain stable tuning conditions. Our covers are custom-made in the USA to your piano’s exact dimensions for a precise fit that looks as good as it performs.

Benefits of a Custom-Made Upright Piano Cover

While there are many piano covers available online, most are made overseas in standard, generic sizes that will not fit your piano correctly. A poorly fitting cover can leave areas exposed, cause fabric to rub against the finish, or look loose and unprofessional. Our upright piano covers are custom-tailored in the USA for a precise fit based on your piano’s exact make and model — including popular brands such as Yamaha, Kawai, Steinway, Baldwin, and Wurlitzer. This ensures complete coverage, better protection, and a more attractive appearance.

Covering All Upright Styles: Spinet, Console, and Studio Uprights

While all upright pianos share a vertical design, they vary in size and shape — from the compact spinet (around 36–40 inches tall) to the mid-sized console, and the tall studio upright often found in schools and churches. A cover made for one style may not fit another properly. Our covers are custom-made to match your piano’s exact dimensions, ensuring proper protection and a tailored look for every upright size.

How do I choose the right material for my upright piano cover?

The right fabric for your upright piano cover depends on your environment and how you use your piano. Vinyl upright piano covers are affordable, wipe clean easily, and offer a sleek look, making them a good choice for homes with children or pets. Heavy-Duty Mackintosh upright covers are crafted from a tough, densely woven material that can withstand heavy use and provides superior protection against knocks and abrasions — a great option for schools, churches, and music studios. If you want both elegance and enhanced cushioning, our premium quilted upright covers feature multiple layers of padding, protecting your piano from dents and scuffs while also adding a luxurious appearance (the premium quilt is our most popular selling material). No matter which material you choose, each cover is custom-sized to your piano’s exact dimensions for a flawless fit.
