Custom-Fitted Covers for Steinway Grand Pianos
Our Steinway piano covers are custom manufactured in the United States, and combine unmatched craftsmanship, premium-grade materials, and exceptional customization. Protects the finish from dust, sunlight, humidity, and everyday wear.
Every cover is patterned directly from authentic Steinway rim and plate measurements, ensuring an exact, tailored fit—no generic draping, no guessing the size--just the perfect fit. Choose your model (S, M, O, A, B, C, or D) and our templates will match your piano’s contours precisely. To order, select your size of piano from the drop-down menu, and choose from our wide range of options.
With a focus on creating an attractive and professional look, our covers not only protect your piano but also elevate its visual appeal, adding a touch of elegance to any setting. Handcrafted by our seamstresses with decades of experience, discover the perfect blend of superior craftsmanship, durability and style with our exquisite Steinway & Sons piano covers.
A Steinway deserves the ultimate in protection, and furthermore the ultimate in style. As with all furniture, outside of design, the quality of materials is what gives the product an elegant and professional look. That is why it is so important to go with an American manufacturer who uses quality fabric and craftsmanship.
For the ultimate in luxury, we recommend considering custom embroidery for your piano cover. For a small fee, we can add the Steinway piano logo to either the front where the keys are or side (above the leg on the sideboard, as shown above) of your cover. A great way to highlight your beautiful instrument, even when it's covered.

How to Determine the Model of a Steinway Piano:
You can find the model of your Steinway grand piano by looking at the letter stamped on the plate on the inside of the piano. It will be near the front, above the keys and fallboard. Located within a triangle, you should see a model letter (B, L, M, etc.), as well as the serial number. Please note the serial number will only tell you the year the piano was manufactured, not the model of the Steinway.
Over the years, the Steinway Model A has come in three different sizes: 6-1/2", 6'2" and 6'4-1/2". If you have a Model A, you will want to measure the length of your grand, to verify which size to order. You may find it easiest to measure from underneath your piano.
Why Our Steinway Piano Cover Is Different:
- Patterned from authentic Steinway grands: Our templates were developed directly from measurements of genuine Steinway models—including the B, M, O, and D—to ensure an exact, contour-hugging fit.
- Material selection guided by decades of testing: Each fabric—vinyl, mackintosh, or quilted—is chosen for its proven performance in protecting piano finishes.
- Designed for real-world use: Soft inner linings and quiet padding prevent finish wear and make daily covering and uncovering silent and effortless.
- Crafted in the U.S. by experienced piano-cover makers: Produced by skilled specialists with decades of experience in piano cover construction, ensuring consistent quality and durability.
- Used and trusted in professional environments: Our covers are relied upon by music schools, universities, and performance venues across the United States to safeguard their Steinway instruments.

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.
Piano Cover Material Guide
Want help deciding between material choices? Our Piano Cover Materials Guide explains each fabric in detail, including cleaning, durability, and best-use scenarios. The quick comparison table below helps you narrow it down fast.
Piano Cover Materials: Quick Comparison
Quick picks: For easiest cleaning choose Vinyl. For most homes choose Premium Quilt. For pets or high-traffic use choose Heavy-Duty Quilted Mackintosh.
| Steinway Cover Material | Best for | Key benefits | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vinyl | Durable, wipe-clean protection (high-use / utility) | Vinyl exterior; flannel-backed; easiest material to dust | Lowest-maintenance; classic styling |
| Mackintosh | Soft-lined everyday protection | Water-repellent drill cloth; soft flannel lining; resists snags. | Most popular non-quilted option |
| Standard Quilted Nylon | Everyday home protection | 3/8" thick; dust/scratch protection + light padding | Good value quilt option |
| Premium Quilt | Best choice for most homes - top selling material | 1/2" thick; cotton flannel backing; luxurious appearance | Breathes better; less heat trapping |
| Heavy Quilted Mackintosh | Cats / high-traffic / schools / churches | Most durable; most padding; heavy-duty outer layer | Most rugged protection option |
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 custom-fitted for specific Steinway models?
Yes. Our templates are traced directly from authentic Steinway grands — including Models B, M, O, S, A, L, and D — to ensure a precise, tailored fit. No generic imports, no “one-size-fits-most” patterns.
Should you cover a Steinway piano?
Yes — a cover is considered standard care for Steinway instruments. It protects the finish from sunlight, dust, humidity swings, and accidental contact while the piano is not being played. A high-quality cover helps preserve both resale value and visual appearance. It's also a beautiful accessory for your piano.
Will the cover protect the high-polish lacquer / polyester finish Steinways are known for?
Yes. Every cover includes a soft, non-abrasive inner lining designed to protect Steinway’s high-gloss and satin finishes from micro-scratches during daily covering and uncovering. The lining prevents finish dulling over time.
WHAT MATERIAL IS BEST FOR STEINWAY PIANOS IN HOMES VS. PERFORMANCE HALLS?
- Home or Studio: Premium Quilted Nylon Material — quiet, elegant, and breathable. It's considered the most attractive material option
- Schools, Churches, Performance Halls: Heavy-Duty Quilted Mackintosh — it has the thickest padding of any material option, and mackintosh is a heavy-duty material not prone to snagging or ripping. It holds up best in high traffic environments, or in storage areas.
Do churches, universities, and performance venues use your covers?
Yes — our covers are used in music schools, concert venues, and university piano programs across the U.S., specifically for long-term protection of Steinway grands.
Can I add the Steinway & Sons logo to the piano cover?
Yes. Optional custom embroidery is available. Many customers choose to add the Steinway & Sons logo for a refined, performance-ready appearance.
How does a cover help maintain the "Steinway Sound"?
Steinway pianos are built with organic materials like the Diaphragmatic Soundboard, which are highly sensitive to humidity. A premium cover acts as a thermal barrier, stabilizing the micro-climate around the instrument. This helps prevent the soundboard wood from shrinking or swelling, which preserves the piano's tone and tuning stability over time.
Is this cover safe for Steinway’s hand-rubbed lacquer finishes?
Yes. Unlike generic imports, our covers feature a soft, non-abrasive inner lining designed specifically for high-end finishes like Steinway's satin luster and high-polish ebony. This prevents "micro-scratching" from dust and shields the nitrocellulose lacquer from UV light, which can cause finish checking and fading.
The piano fits perfectly and the quality is excellent.
I love my premium quilt cover with side slits and sideboard embroidered logo. It fits like a glove on my model B. Excellent material and stitching quality. Looks professional and custom made; it fits effortlessly right out of the box. This is the second cover I ordered from the company!
High quality for a fair price. We're happy with the thickness of the material, and the cover looks great on the piano in our family room. We did not have to wait long to receive the cover. Thank you so much. Will definitely be recomending you to anyone who needs a cover.
Received our custom cover. Fits well and arrived in a timely fashion. Would buy again from this company.
I really like my new piano cover. It perfectly fits the piano, and the material has a nice feel as well. I have two cats, and the cover is doing a great job protecting the piano from their claws and fur. I would recommend American Piano Covers to those looking for a quality cover for their piano
My husband and I are thrilled with the cover we received for our Steinway model B grand piano. The inside of the cover is very soft, and the quilted material on the outside looks elegant in our living room. We went with the side slit option, which has made it very easy to practice the piano without having to take the whole cover off and set it on the couch while I play. Thank you for a lovely product.
We were delighted to receive our cover for our Steinway piano. Just as described, and fits our Steinway B perfectly. Would recommend to others!
The Stienway cover arrived on time and was of excellent quality. Email support was very quick when I had questions before ordering, and helped me select the correct cover.
We went with the brown quilted cover for our Steinway grand, and it compliments our walnut piano well. I'm glad we went with this over the black option. I debated on spending the extra money on the side slits, but I'm glad I did. I really like how easy it tis to play the piano while keeping the cover on.
fits perfectly, great quality, looks magnificent...! thanks, M
Very nice looking quilted cover. Well padded. Fits great.
cover looks beautiful and fits perfectly thanks
Living in a New Mexico, keeping an ebony high gloss Steinway dust-free was becoming a full-time job... This cover takes 30 seconds to slide on and off, keeping the soundboard and cabinet pristine between playing sessions. I went with the premium quilt cover optio, and dusting it is easy, since the outer layer is a nylon material. I just take a cloth and wipe down the cover when needed.
The custom gold lettering on the front looks beautiful against the black fabric. I think it really elevates the look of the piano when it is covered
Our home gets quite drafty in the winter months, so we wanted a cover to help insulate it and stabilize the temperatures. I think the heavy quitled cover will make a difference. Thank you for your help with our order.
I ordered this with the custom text on the side and it looks incredibly elegant. The cover itself is thick, plush, and drapes beautifully over the edges of the instrument. Shipping was surprisingly quick too.
Order process was simple, shipping was on schedule, and the product quality exceeded expectations. Tailored fit, premium materials, and heavy-duty stitching throughout.
The cover we chose was perfect for our need. To protect a long used, well preserved, much beloved instrument. The Sanctuary piano, Church In The Highlands, White Plains, N Y.
Thank you for the excellent assistance with our order.
If you teach or play daily, the side slits are essential. I can flip the front flap back over my Steinway and start playing instantly. The cutouts align neatly without looking sloppy. Very pleased I decided to get this option
It’s perfect and love it! Excellent quality and highly recommend!
We had major drywall and painting work done in the main living space. This thick, padded cover kept all construction dust and debris completely off our Steinway. It provided total peace of mind during a stressful project.
My tuner strongly suggested getting a padded cover to help buffer the piano against seasonal humidity swings in our drafty house. It's been on my Steinway M for a few weeks now and the build quality is stellar.
If you’re hesitating on getting the side slits, just do it. Being able to fold the front piece back to play without removing the whole heavy cover from my Steinway lounge grand makes a massive difference for daily practice.
We inherited a beautiful mahogany Steinway O and I’ve been terrified of it getting scratched. This cover is heavy-duty but has a super soft under-lining that won’t damage the wood. It fits the classic Steinway tail shape absolutely perfectly.
I opted for the black mackintosh cloth for my Steinway B. The fabric has a really traditional, dignified look that fits right into our formal living room. Very impressed with the neatness of the stitching.
My piano technician suggested I get a high-quality cover to help stabilize the humidity and keep the dust out of the soundboard. I’m really impressed with the quilted mackintosh cloth. It fits the Steinway O perfectly and looks very professional.
Excellent product, fantastic fit and craftsmanship.
As a third generation piano technician. I’ve seen nothing better.
Thank you for your outstanding customer relations.

If you have a black high gloss grand piano, you know the struggle of keeping it dust-free. This cover has cut my cleaning time down to zero. It fits my Model S perfectly and it's easy to slide on and off. Well worth the investment.
I was a bit nervous ordering a cover online without seeing the fabric first, but the quality of the quilted material is top-notch. It’s got a nice weight to it and the soft lining is very gentle on the high-polish finish. The fit is spot on—it follows the curves of the Steinway perfectly. If you’re on the fence, just get it.
Amazing quality, fits perfectly. Highly recommend!
Good heavy material, fits perfectly, and arrived on time. Can't ask for much more than that. It’s a solid product for any Steinway owner.
