Piano Care & Maintenance Guide

✅ Keep your piano in a healthy environment

• Keep the room temperature stable and comfortable
• Avoid extreme heat or cold
• Ideal humidity level: 40% – 50%

Do NOT place the piano near:

  • windows

  • heaters or fireplaces

  • air vents

  • direct sunlight

Sudden temperature or humidity changes can seriously damage your piano

💧 Humidity is very important

Pianos are made mostly of wood.

High humidity can cause:

  • sticky keys

  • swelling wood

  • tuning instability

Low humidity can cause:

  • cracks in the soundboard

  • loose tuning pins

  • action and regulation problems

A room humidifier or dehumidifier is strongly recommended

🧽 Cleaning your piano

• Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth only
• Never spray any cleaner directly on the piano
• Do not use alcohol, glass cleaner, or chemical products

For the keys:
• Wipe gently with a clean, slightly damp cloth
• Dry immediately with a soft cloth

🚫 Important things to avoid

• Do not place drinks, plants, or liquids on the piano
• Do not move the piano by yourself
• Do not open or adjust any internal parts
• Do not allow children to climb or sit on the piano

🔧 Regular tuning and service

✔ Tune your piano every 6 months

🌬️ Proper placement

• Do not block airflow around the piano

🏡 Long-term care
