Piano
Care
Keep it tuned regularly. Your piano has
enough string tension in it to hoist a 2-car
garage, so if you let that tension go away, it
can take some work to get it back in proper
condition. Recommended tuning is every 6
months.
Place your piano against an inside wall away
from heat, cold, or moisture sources.
Sunshine, heat vents, ovens, or radiators tend
to dry the piano out which shortens the life of
the internal components, fade the finish, and
can cause the piano to go out of tune very
quickly. Cold, outside walls can cause the
piano to go out of tune more quickly in winter.
Moisture sources, such as fountains,
humidifiers, fish tanks, etc. can cause dampness
problems inside the piano. Newer homes
don't have quite the problems older
ones may have. Regardless, your goal is to
avoid drastic changes in humidity and
temperature as much as possible. Ideal
piano humidity is 42%. A great idea is to
buy a hygrometer such as the one shown below.
This way, you will know your piano's humidity at
all times.
Keep the key lid in the down position when
you are not using the piano. This will prevent
some major accidents from occurring and keep
dirt and grime off those "ivories" as well.
Don't use furniture polish to clean the wood
surfaces of your piano. Instead use a furniture
cleaner product or, better yet, a slightly
dampened, clean cloth. Do not spray anything
directly onto piano surfaces. Over-spray can
get into the piano and cause the delicate parts
to degrade and eventually fail to function.
Keep the keys
clean. All it takes is a
quick wipe down with a warm water
solution and soft cloth to keep your
piano keys in great playing
condition. You should do this
around once a month with normal use.
