A piano cover is a very important for any person that loves their piano. A piano is a very expensive investment. A lot of pianos are not protected from elements. A non protected piano will not look as new as a piano that is properly protected by a piano cover. A piano cover will help protect the piano from unnecessary destruction. It will protect it from moisture, dust, and careless human contact. A piano cover will give you a return on investment. A piano cover will extend the life piano, giving a homeowner the extra insurance it needs.

Everyone needs a piano cover. Even Hollywood stars that play the piano for a living should take care of their livelihood. Piano covers do a fantastic job protecting the star’s piano and will do the same for you. Think about it to yourself, what you would choose if you were a big musical star. Customize your own and see if you would have the same taste as these stars.

Billy Joel is my all time favorite artist. He has had top 40 hits since the seventies. He has been entertaining audiences for years. He is best known for his first hit Piano Man|His first successful hit was the song “Piano Man”. It has become known as his signature song. Billy Joel’s piano cover was designed from his lyrics in the song. On the top of the cover in big letters it has the words “Piano Man”. Around his name it has a lot of the characters from the song, John the bartender, the waitress that served him the drinks, and bar patrons Paul and Davy. Billy has said that it is quite a conversation piece.

Other rockers have visited him and have purchase piano covers to represent their talent. Stones front man Mick Jagger has the tongue and lips design that was created by an artist that first appeared on their 1971 album, Sticky Fingers. It has become one of the most recognizable logos in the world.

Paul McCartney’s piano cover had the most sentimental design. Paul’s late first wife Linda McCartney had given his piano covers as a gift. She was an artist by trade and hand painted most of the piano covers that he owned. Most of them were taken from ideas from different places that they travel to when they were together. Paul loved his first wife and they would bring him a lot of joy as they reminded him of her.

Other stars have great designs too. Liberace had one of the most extravagant. He was known as a showman. His had a lot of glitter and diamonds that covered the entire grand piano. Elton John would write on his with a magic marker whenever he had a song idea. Some of his biggest hits were written on that first piano cover. The artist know as Pink had very recognizable cover. It was a very simple design without a lot of flare. It was easy to imagine what color she would have. It was very pink!
