Maintaining your piano

For a piano to receive proper care, it is essential to receive the guidance of your piano dealer or a qualified piano technician who can provide the necessary periodic technical services and provide answers to developing service issues

It is best to place the piano away from sources of extreme temperature changes such as floor heat/cooling vents, electric baseboard or other wall mounted heaters, radiators and climate control systems. The flow of air from these devices can cause extreme changes in temperature and humidity which effects the capability of your piano to stay in tune

Over time, placement of your piano near a window that allows direct sunlight to fall on it, will affect the tuning and performance of your instrument. You should be alert to direct sunlight that can damage the finish and other piano components.

Your piano should be well maintained regardless of the age or skill of the piano player. A piano that is out of tune, has unpleasant tonal qualities, or an unresponsive touch can discourage even a novice musician.
