When submitting an order for a customer made piano cover it is important to measure the instrument correctly so that the piano cover can be made according to the right specifications. I have witnessed people turning in measurements either too big or too small, with smaller measurements being far worse, and not been satisfied with their purchase. Almost always the issue that caused the incorrect measurements to be turned in is a lack of understanding about what and how to measure your piano for the size to make the process a great one for both the customer and the manufacturer.
To begin to take the measurements, it is very important that you understand what the piano cover manufacturer is looking for. Typically the piano cover manufacturer will want to take all measurements around the outside of the piano. Start by taking the measurements from the floor to the keyboard, the keyboard to the base, the base to the crown, and from the beginning of the crown to the rear of the piano. Then measure from the crown to the floor along the back side, since the measurement in the front only took from the keyboard to the floor. It is also important to measure from the keyboard extending upward to the rear of the piano and finally, the width of the piano at the keyboard.
The manufacturer and model number are also important because with that data, the piano cover manufacturer can look up drawings related to that model and double check the figures provided to ensure an accurate measurement has been taken. We often get asked why the measurements should be taken if the model and manufacturer are available. The answer to the question is simple; when you are making anything custom it is much better to measure twice and cut once. With that concept in mind, everyone will be happy with the end product.
