FAQs about Piano Care
What should I do for daily piano upkeep?
First, keep the piano clean, never put liquids near the piano, and keep dust away by putting the covers on when not using. Also, please do NOT take apart the piano or attempt to move it yourself and leave it to the professionals. Lastly, play your piano regularly!
How often do I need to tune my piano?
It is recommended to tune your piano about twice a year, so every 6 months. You should also tune your computer when it sounds “out of tune” by ear. Please make sure the tuning is done by a qualified piano technician.
Where do I find a qualified piano technician?
The Piano Technicians Guild (PTG) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding the knowledge and skill of professionals in the piano industry. PTG certified technicians pass numerous exams and as a result, are very trusted. [also we have technician certified by PTG. we’ll help you have a peace of mind…]
Do I need to temperature control my room?
The environment should be neither too dry nor too wet. Either extremes will cause your piano to break down faster, and cause the piano to sound flat when too dry and sharp when too wet. You can use air conditioning, heating, or a humidifier to control the humidity. The ideal condition is 68 ℉ (20 ℃) and 42% relative humidity.
How should I care for my piano’s wood finish?
Wiping with a non-abrasive cloth is enough for a newer piano. However, you should polish an older piano occasionally, about once a year is enough. Please use high quality furniture polish so you don’t hurt your piano.
Do I need voicing service for my piano?
Voicing improves the tone of your piano, making it sound fuller and more beautiful. This is not a must, but can be done occasionally to improve your piano.
Do I need action regulation for my piano?
Action regulation adjusts how the hammers hit the strings. Just like voicing, this is an optional service that can make your piano sound even better.
