Contrary to their size, pianos are very delicate and temperamental instruments.<\/p>\n
It is crucial to properly care for your piano in order to keep it in its best condition. They are an investment piece, and like a care you have to put in the proper care and tune ups to maintain its quality.<\/p>\n
When thinking about caring for your piano, everyone always assumes you just need to tune it every once in a while and try not to cause too much damage to it. This is false.<\/p>\n
There is a lot of care and consideration that goes into the upkeep of your piano. Here are some piano maintenance tips on how to care for your upright piano.<\/p>\n
<\/h2>\nWhere in your house are you planning on keeping your piano? Is it in a heavy traffic room with people walking in and out? Or do you have a specific room just for the piano? These are all things to consider when picking a spot in your home for the piano.<\/p>\n
When people are around the piano a lot, it can be easily scratched and the wear and tear to the piano is typically increased. Not to mention, are there windows in that room? Sunlight can cause damage to the outside appearance of your piano and ruin the overall impression of the instrument.<\/p>\n
The temperature in which the piano is kept is also crucial to consider. Humidity and generally hot conditions can quickly wreak havoc on the instrument. The wood in the piano can expand and crack once it goes back to its regular size. Even though location may not be the first thought of when you care for your piano, it is considerably the most important one.<\/p>\n

This way, the dust won\u2019t completely take over your piano and you will be able to have peace of mind over your piano while you are gone.<\/p>\n
