The following
are some helpful hints to ensure that you take proper care of
your piano and are well informed about it's maintenance needs.
If you follow these helpful hints, your piano should perform at
it's best and the care of it should be less time consuming and
less costly.
Piano
Location: The
ideal location is inside wall areas. However, outside walls are
okay. Keep pianos away from heating sources, drafty windows and
doors, direct sunlight, and very damp areas. Note: The most
important factor that causes pianos to go out of tune is humidity
and temperature changes. Whether a piano is played, not played,
in good or bad condition, the location is very important.
How
Often Should My Piano Be Tuned:
Recommendation for normal home use is twice a year to maintain
the standard A-440 pitch. At the very least, once a year is a
must.
Piano
Keys Do Not Feel Right:
There are over 9,000 parts in a piano action, and most of them
must be adjusted to tolerances of a few thousandths of an inch.
In addition, damp and dry environments will cause problems. So
please notify us of this at the time you schedule your tuning
appointment and we will allow extra time in our schedule.
Why
My Piano May Need More Than One Tuning:
When a piano is not serviced on a regular basis or subjected to
extreme humidity and/or temperature change, it is impossible to
achieve a stable tuning with just one regular tuning. Multiple
tunings at one time is referred to as a pitch raise.
Cleaning
Keys and Piano Case: Use
a small amount of mild soap and water on a soft, damp cloth. Dry
with a soft dry cloth.
