Piano Care Guide
Piano Care Tips for Homes & Churches
Keep your piano sounding its best year after year!
📍 1. Place It Wisely
Avoid direct sunlight, heating vents, or exterior walls. Sudden temperature changes can throw your piano out of tune and damage internal parts.
💧 2. Watch the Humidity
Your piano likes 40%–50% humidity. Use a room humidifier or dehumidifier if needed. We also recommend Dampp-Chaser systems for extra protection.
🧼 3. Clean Gently
Dust with a dry microfiber cloth weekly
Never spray polish directly on the piano (and never use furniture polish)
Use a damp cloth for the keys or use Cory Key-Bright (Recommended)
🔧 4. Tune Regularly
Your piano should be tuned 1–2 times a year, even if it sounds okay. Seasonal changes, regular playing, or a move can all affect tuning.
🛠️ 5. Get Regular Maintenance
Especially in churches or schools, routine checks are essential. We inspect:
✔️ Action parts
✔️ Pedals
✔️ Sticky keys
✔️ Felt wear
🙅♂️ 6. Avoid Common Mistakes
No drinks, candles, or plants on the piano. Teach kids to play gently and avoid slamming the lid.
