Find a good location
Positioning your piano in a room that has a fairly stable temperature will help to keep in well maintained. You may hear people say “choose an internal wall”. This is because internal walls tend to be more stable in temperature than external walls.
Keep the room temperature even
Don’t expose your piano to variations in heat and cool. Avoid placing your piano on a wall which is west-facing and exposed as these walls get hot in summer and can cause variation in temperature. Keep your piano away from the air conditioner.
Tune your piano regularly
Pianos should be tuned regularly – we recommend an annual tuned annually by a professional piano tuner. Your piano tuner can advise you on what your piano needs if it hasn’t been tuned for a while.
Have your piano regulated occasionally
Over time, changes in the wood, wool, felt and cloth elements can affect how your piano feels to play and how it sounds. Regulation is like an in-depth service for your piano. Tuning is about pitch and focuses on the strings and pins, while regulation means adjusting the mechanical parts of a piano.
