Pianos In Phoenix Care And Maintenance Tips

By Bethany Reeves


If you have purchased a new piano recently for the home, you probably are aware that it's going to bring musical pleasure and add beauty for the family over many years. However, now you have this newly acquired addition, you will want to be certain that it's properly maintained. Here we will learn about care and maintenance concerning pianos Phoenix.

Giving a piano proper care will assure that it always is playing to its maximum potential, however it will also allow it to maintain its value, and if it is a newer model then it will protect your warranty. Some of the tasks that are involved in maintenance include cleaning its exterior as well as tuning it.

These instruments have over 200 strings and they are stretched at high tension across the frame, when a technician is there to tune it, they will carefully adjust the tension on each string to make sure that they are in harmony with each other, and that they also will play in standard pitch. And while not having it regularly tuned doesn't cause any damage, it can greatly affect how it sounds.

This should be done at least twice a year in order to keep it in top playing condition, and this would apply whether you are using it or not. In fact even newer models will need service a few times in the first year, this is because strings will have a tendency for stretching as they are broken in, this is what causes it to be out of tune more often.

Generally, it will not be recommended to use furniture polish when cleaning, the best technique is using a soft cloth that is slightly damp. There are also special micro fiber cloths that are perfect for cleaning dust on high-gloss finishes. Additionally, many of these will help in keeping the dust off as they are anti-static.

A clean moist cloth is recommended to clean the top the keys, although when they are just a little dirty, a mild cleaning soap solution may also be effective. Always make certain that you completely dry them, also try to prevent water from spilling on the edges, furthermore never use any chemicals or any kind of cleaning fluid.

Finally, the inside of your new piano should only be serviced by a technician. There are a lot of breakable parts inside, and these professionals have the right tools to take it apart and prevent any potential damage from occurring. If there is dust buildup on the inside, they will take care of it.
