A piano is not just an instrument, it is a companion that deserves care and dedication to preserve its beauty and sound quality over the years. Here are some key tips to ensure that your piano is kept in the best condition at all times.
1. Periodic tuning: the secret of stability
The passage of time, changes in temperature and humidity can affect the string tension and tonal balance of your piano. A professional tuning every 6 to 12 months not only keeps the sound at its optimum, but also prevents further damage to the internal structure of the instrument.
2. Humidity control: protect its essence
Pianos are extremely sensitive to climatic variations. Keeping the instrument in a humidity-controlled environment (around 45-55%) is crucial to avoid warping of the wood and problems with the keys or hammers. A humidifier or dehumidifier can be an excellent investment.
3. Regular and careful cleaning
Regular and careful cleaning is an excellent investment. Dust and dirt can accumulate on the keys and the internal mechanism, affecting their function. Clean the keys with a soft, dry cloth and avoid using abrasive chemicals. For the inside, trust experienced professionals for a thorough cleaning.
4. Ideal location: away from sources of heat or cold
Place your piano away from radiators, windows or draughts. Sudden changes in temperature can damage the structure and affect the performance of the instrument.
5. Professional maintenance: trust the experts
