Piano Care Guide
Piano Care Tips for Homes & Churches
Keep your piano sounding its best year after year!
๐ 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.
๐ง 2. Watch the Humidity
Your piano likes 40%โ50% humidity. Use a room humidifier or dehumidifier if needed. We also recommend Dampp-Chaser systems for extra protection.
๐งผ 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)
ย
๐ง 4. Tune Regularly
Your piano should be tuned 1โ2 times a year, even if it sounds okay. Seasonal changes, regular playing, or a move can all affect tuning.
๐ ๏ธ 5. Get Regular Maintenance
Especially in churches or schools, routine checks are essential. We inspect:
โ๏ธ Action parts
โ๏ธ Pedals
โ๏ธ Sticky keys
โ๏ธ Felt wear
๐ โโ๏ธ 6. Avoid Common Mistakes
No drinks, candles, or plants on the piano. Teach kids to play gently and avoid slamming the lid.
