At Zohar Pianos, we believe that every piano deserves the best care to maintain its sound and appearance for many years to come. Whether you are a serious pianist or just starting out for fun, here are some simple but important tips to help you keep your piano in perfect harmony 🎹:
Fixed piano tuning ⏰
Your piano likes to be tuned at least once a year, preferably by a professional technician. (Think of it like a quick visit to your family doctor or a car service.) Pianos go out of tune due to changes in temperature and humidity, which cause the strings to contract and expand. Regular tuning maintains accurate sound and tone quality.
Location 📍
Place the piano in a location away from direct sunlight, windows, heating vents, or air conditioning. Extreme changes in temperature and humidity can damage the wood and affect its alignment. A stable temperature is always best.
Humidity 💧
Pianos thrive in humidity levels of 40-50%. If possible, use a hygrometer to monitor the conditions in the room and a dehumidifier to maintain the optimal level. This small investment prevents the piano wood from warping or cracking, and saves on expensive repairs later. Dehumidifiers are available at Zohar Pianos 🏆.
Exterior cleaning 🧹
Wipe the exterior of the piano with a soft microfiber cloth to prevent scratches. To clean the keys, use a slightly damp cloth and then immediately wipe with a dry cloth. Avoid using chemicals or cleaning agents other than furniture polish such as Snow, as this may damage the wood finish or the keys.
Internal cleaning ❤️
Leave it to the experts! Dust and dirt can build up on the strings, hammers, and internal components of your piano. Regular professional cleaning ensures optimal performance. Schedule an appointment with one of our technicians for a thorough cleaning 🧹.
Let's play! 🎶
Believe it or not, playing your piano regularly helps keep it in good condition. Regular use prevents moving parts from hardening and helps identify potential problems early.
Follow these tips to keep your piano in perfect condition and creating beautiful music for many years to come.
