Client Information How to take care of your pianoPianos should be placed away from heater vents and windows where they may get direct sunlight. If your house is poorly insulated, they should be kept away from outside walls; most modern houses should not have this problem. For optimal sound, vertical pianos should have at least 10cm clearance from a wall. Pianos can be wiped clean with dry rags. If needed, a damp cloth can also be used. Do not use furniture polish on your piano. If you feel the need to polish your piano, appropriate products are available through me. Spilt liquids can cause severe damage to a piano. Do not put any drinks, house plants, or anything else with liquid on a piano. One of the best ways to take care of your piano is to install a humidity-control system. If you heat your house with a wood stove, your piano's life span will be significantly reduced without humidity control. I offer piano care classes for groups. If your group is interested in booking a piano care class, please contact me. What you can do to make a service call go smoothlyExtra noise makes piano tuning unnecessarily difficult. Anything you can do to minimize extraneous noise is helpful. Also, if you store knick-knacks (or expensive antiques) on your piano, please remove them before I come. Finally, and most importantly, please be there or make arrangements for there to be a way for me to get in and service your piano. Payment expectationsPayment is due upon completion of work.
