Custom Upright Piano Covers – Full-Length, Dust & Scratch Protection
Welcome to our premium collection of upright piano covers, proudly manufactured in the United States. Crafted with utmost care and attention to detail by our seamstresses with decades of experience, these vertical piano covers offer unparalleled style and protection for your upright piano. Available in a variety of materials including vinyl, mackintosh, and quilted fabric, our covers are designed to shield your instrument from dust, sunlight, dampness, and external damage. All covers are custom-tailored to ensure a perfect fit for your instrument, keeping it safe and sound for years to come.
Full-Length Protection
Our upright piano covers are full-length--they are not a piece of fabric that covers only the top lid of the piano. Unlike top-only covers, our full-length upright piano covers provide 360-degree protection, safeguarding the front, back, and sides from dust buildup, accidental spills, and damaging UV rays that cause fading and warping. It also helps insulate against temperature and humidity fluctuations, preventing warping and tuning instability.
Custom-tailored for a Perfect Fit
Our goal is to make the best-fitting cover possible for your piano. Unlike grand pianos, which are all very similar in height and width and only need to be measured for length, upright pianos can differ in size significantly from one model to the next. To get a proper-fitting cover, you will need to take 6 different measurements of your piano. We have included a measurement guide below to help you out. Remember that an upright piano is measured by its overall height, from the floor to the very top of the lid.
Note: These upright piano covers will be made custom to the measurements you provide, and thus they are not returnable. So please be careful when taking down your piano measurements (it never hurts to measure twice).
Back Slit Option:
We can custom add a slit/opening to the back of your vertical piano cover, which goes approximately halfway up the cover. This will make it easier to take the cover on and off the piano, and is a popular option for those with taller or larger uprights, or if your piano is up against the wall.
How to order:
1). Select the height of your upright piano from the drown-down menu.
2). Choose your desired material.
3). Enter the manufacturer's name and the model of your piano if you have it (we may already have a pattern of it, allowing us to make a better fitting cover).
4). Enter the measurements (in inches) in the corresponding boxes at the top of the page, of the diagram below.

Upright Piano Cover FAQs: Everything You Need to Know
Will this cover fit my Yamaha, Steinway, or Baldwin upright piano?
Yes! Our custom-fit upright covers are designed to fit all major brands, including Steinway, Yamaha, Kawai, Baldwin, and Wurlitzer. You provide the measurements, and our seamstresses with decades of experience, will make it specifically for your piano.
What is the best piano cover for protecting against pet hair and scratches?
If protecting your piano from physical damage is your primary concern, we recommend the heavy-duty quilted mackintosh material, which has the most padding. Mackintosh is also not prone to snagging, so it's the best option for those with cats. If you're only worried about pet hair, than the premium quilt or vinyl will be the easiest to clean (wiping it off with a cloth).
How does a full-length piano cover protect better than a top-only cover?
Full-length covers provide maximum protection, shielding the entire piano from dust, scratches, and UV exposure. Top covers only protect the lid, and your piano's finish will fade at different speeds, leaving you a two-tone instrument.

how to clean an upright piano cover
The best way to clean your piano cover depends on the material:
- Vinyl Covers – Wipe clean with a duster or damp cloth. Use mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Premium Quilted Covers - With an outer layer of nylon, they can easily be wiped down with a duster or cloth.
- Mackintosh Covers - Use a vacuum with an upholstery attachment for deep cleaning.
Piano Covers should not be put in a washing machine. If deep cleaning is needed, take it to a local dry cleaners.
What is the Best Upright Piano Cover for Schools and Churches?
The best upright piano cover for schools, churches, and other high-traffic environments is a heavy-duty quilted mackintosh cover.
Why?
- Maximum Protection – Thick, durable material shields against scratches and accidental bumps.
- Heavy-Duty Padding – Absorbs impact, ideal for busy classrooms, worship spaces, and multipurpose halls. The thickest padding of any material option.
- Moisture & Dust Resistance – Helps protect the piano from humidity changes, dust accumulation, and dirt buildup.
- Long-Lasting Durability – Made for frequent use and high-traffic areas where standard covers may wear out quickly.
💡 Pro Tip: A full-length heavy-duty quilted mackintosh cover provides the best all-around protection for upright and grand pianos in schools and churches.
How Does a Piano Cover Protect Against Temperature and Humidity?
A piano cover helps regulate temperature and humidity by creating a protective barrier that reduces exposure to moisture, air dryness, and sudden temperature shifts. While a cover does not replace a dedicated humidity control system, it can:
- Minimize wood expansion & contraction due to humidity changes.
- Shield the piano’s finish from direct sunlight, preventing warping and fading.
- Slow down moisture absorption, especially in high-humidity environments.
The best material option for covers that get direct sunlight is the premium quilt, which "breathes" more than the other materials, and will not trap the heat.
For full climate control, use a piano dehumidifier or humidity control system like the Dampp-Chaser Piano Life Saver System alongside your cover.
