Electronic Keyboard Covers To Protect Keys And Connections
Getting the most out of your digital piano also means being smart about core day-to-day maintenance issues. Keep connections and your keyboard free from dust, pet hair, drinks and anything else by using a well-fitting keyboard cover in-between playing times. Keyboard covers are designed in a range of materials, sizes, reflecting the equally varying needs of digital piano players like yourself. Consider the following factors:-
- How Big Is Your Digital Piano Or Synthesizer? In determining the overall size of your keyboard cover know that a single key is approximately 1-inch wide. A full octave measures 6.5 inches. Digital pianos are designed to meet a number of performance needs, so you'll see electronic keyboards offering 88-key full grand piano play, smaller 76-key models, 61-key models and then a host of smaller performance instruments designed to produce a more narrow sound range, or to be connected in a stage ‘network'.
- Key Measurements. Broadly, your 88-key digital piano needs a keyboard cover of approximately 55 inches end-to-end. A 76-key digital piano needs about a 50 inch keyboard cover. The width of a ‘typical' digital piano is about 11" – 12", depending upon whether the model has internal or external accessories. Taking standard widths and lengths into mind and then adding, say, minimum height of 5 inches and you have the core specifications for your keyboard cover.
- Keyboard Cover Materials. In soft construction, keyboard covers for digital pianos can be constructed in tear-resistant nylon and/or synthetic materials. High density foam padding throughout the body of the keyboard cover absorbs vibration and impacts, in order to provide top-to-bottom protection for your keys and connections and controller unit. Hard case keyboard cover designs are your classic music instrument case, constructed in shatter resistant plastics such as lexan, fiberglass or other impact-absorbing high density material.
- Weight And Keyboard Cover Accessories. Soft shell padded keyboard covers for digital pianos typically weight less than 10 pounds, so you can easily move from studio to gig without fear of muscle pull. Make sure that your keyboard cover offers a soft round handle, which is easier to grasp, as well as large padded side-pockets so that you can carry your cables and smaller accessories like microphones. Some digital piano manufacturers, such as Yamaha or Roland may offer keyboard covers unique to their instruments.
