Material Choices
The foundation of a piano cover is the quality of the materials used. We have spent years working with American material suppliers, carefully reviewing and selecting the finest materials for their aesthetic appeal, protection, durability, and functionality. We are confident that we offer the highest-quality, most attractive fabric options on the market.

Side Slits
Side slits are designed to allow you to play the piano without having to take the entire cover off. Side Slits are put on each side of the piano cover, above the front legs. This allows the pianist to simply flip the front part of the cover back to play the piano, without having to completely remove the entire cover. This provides a seamless and convenient solution for those who require frequent access to their piano, without compromising on its protection. A very popular option, and added to the majority of covers.
Embroidery (Logo)
For the ultimate look of luxury, we recommend custom embroidery for your piano cover. For an additional fee, we can embroider the piano brand logo on either the front of the cover above the keys, or on the right sideboard of the piano (located above the leg on the sideboard). A great way to highlight your beautiful instrument, even when it's covered. Embroidery comes standard in gold thread. Custom colors are available upon request.

Locking Straps
Locking straps are a popular option when the piano is in an area where people will want to remove the cover and play it. The straps keep the cover in place, and act as an effective barrier against tampering. Many schools, hotels, resorts and churches add this option to ensure their piano stays safe and secure.
How do locking straps work? There are 3 straps sewn into the cover--one by each of the front legs and one at the back of the piano. The straps meet underneath the piano in the middle, forming a "Y" shape (note larger covers will use 4 straps, forming an "X" shape). At the end of each strap is a plastic D-ring. You turn one of the rings sideways and insert it through the other D-ring. When you turn it back, they will now be interconnected (as shown in the picture below). The cover is now securely on the piano, and the straps need to be disconnected in order to remove the cover and play. Note that if you need additional security, you can add a padlock to the D-rings, completely preventing someone from removing the cover without having the key to the padlock.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are your covers patterned specifically for Kawai models like the GL, GX, or RX series?
Yes. We use templates traced directly from Kawai grand pianos. With decades in the business, we have accumulated thousands of piano templates.
WHY DO KAWAI GRAND PIANOS REQUIRE A DIFFERENT COVER FIT THAN OTHER BRANDS?
Kawai grands do not share the same case geometry as Yamaha, Steinway, or European designs. Even when the length is similar, the rim taper, tail design, and arm dimensions are different. A Kawai-specific cover ensures proper drape, edge alignment, and protection.
Do Kawai owners typically order covers with side slits?
Many Kawai owners choose side slits so the front portion of the cover can fold back for quick access to the keyboard. This design is convenient for pianos used daily or in teaching environments, without removing the full cover. A very popular addition!
WHICH COVER MATERIAL IS SAFEST FOR KAWAI’S HIGH-GLOSS POLYESTER FINISH?
All of our cover materials has a soft inner lining which will protect the finish of your piano. If you're concerned about getting the most breathable fabric option (for example if your piano gets direct sunlight), the best option is the premium quilted material.
A note about imported felt/velvet piano covers (which we do not carry). These cheap covers shed, and we get lots of complaints from customers who purchased a felt cover, as the thousands of little felt fibers are very noticeable on Kawai's high gloss finish. Our American-made piano covers will not have this issue.
HOW DO I CHOOSE THE RIGHT SIZE COVER FOR MY KAWAI GRAND PIANO MODEL?
The most reliable method is to choose by model name—such as GL-10, GL-30, GX-2, RX-2, GE-30, or SK-2. If you know the model, you can use the chart above and find the size of your piano. You can look inside your piano, and find the model stamped on the brass plate (often located toward the front of the piano, towards the right side).
If the model is unknown, measuring the length from the front of the keys to the tail will determine the correct fit.
Will a piano cover help protect the key surfaces on a Kawai grand?
A full piano cover protects the key slip and key block areas from dust and airborne particles. This helps maintain key smoothness, especially on Kawai instruments with Neotex or acrylic key surfaces.
