Yamaha Piano in St Paul MN | How Do I Keep My Piano In Good Shape? (Part 2)

Yamaha Piano in St Paul MNHaving a piano in the home is a wonderful investment, especially if you plan to pass an old-time favorite down from generation to generation. However, having a piano at home isn’t just about playing it occasionally; it’s also about keeping it in good shape for many years too. This blog will go through some ways you can help keep your piano of good quality. Yamaha Piano in St Paul MN

Dust Your Piano’s Surfaces

Dust is one of the biggest enemies of a piano’s mechanics. The key action is composed of thousands of moving parts, which are all in constant contact with each other. This creates friction and wears over time. Dust can build up on these surfaces and interfere with the tuning process, causing your technician to have to clean it off before they can tune your piano correctly. Yamaha Piano in St Paul MN

The action itself is made up of many tiny springs, levers, and bushings that hold everything together as you play your instrument. If dust builds up on this part of the piano, it can cause sticking notes or even misalignment with other components in order for them to work properly together when striking keys down at speed (such as when playing quickly). Dust on any part will also cause premature wear throughout its lifespan making repairs more likely sooner than later – costing you more money down the road! Also, when not using your piano, it is important to keep the lid closed so that dust does not find its way in. For grand pianos, you can open the lid for a louder sound, but just remember to close it back up after you are finished to help keep it in good condition.

Go Easy on the Keys!

The piano is a delicate instrument that requires proper care, so it’s important to be mindful of how you play the keys. The best way to do this is to play with purpose, but also gently. It’s important not to bang or slam the keys when playing; this can damage the instrument and make it harder for the player themselves. If you’re new at playing the piano, remember that small children might not know how careful they need to be around instruments like this one! If they’re running around while you’re playing, watch them closely so they don’t accidentally bump into keys and make loud noises that could damage your piano forevermore. Talk to your children about how to play the piano nicely so you can keep it in good condition for years to come. Yamaha Piano in St Paul MN

Keep Drinks and Food Away From the Piano

Make sure all drinks and food are kept away from the piano. Liquids can seep into the wood of your piano, which can cause damage to the keys. The same goes for food, which also contains liquids that could potentially leak inside. If your hands are dirty when you play, dirt may get onto the keys themselves and make them stick or even break off entirely! Even oils from foods can ruin the keys of your piano. Make sure your hands are clean before playing your instrument. You should always practice with clean hands so that no new grime gets deposited on top of what’s already there. Otherwise, those germs might grow over time until they become impossible to remove completely without repainting everything first every time someone wants to touch something else near where their fingers have been before playing music again (which would probably take too long!). It is good practice to wash your hands before playing the piano to keep it clean. 

Your Piano is an Investment; Keep It Safe and Well-Cared-For!

Pianos are expensive and can last a long time, so it’s important to keep yours safe and well-cared-for. Pianos need regular tuning, cleaning, and servicing to stay in top shape. Tuning your piano regularly will keep the strings in tune so its sound stays consistent from the first note of a piece until the last note is played. It’s also important that you have your Yamaha piano tuned at least once every year or two because many variables affect a piano’s sound quality. Humidity levels can cause strings to stretch out over time, which changes how they sound when played. Temperature changes can expand wood joints causing them to crack or warp. Dust buildup inside wooden parts affects how well those parts move together (and affects your ability to produce certain sounds). Pianos are expensive but if taken care of, they can last for many years to come and can even be handed down to younger generations. Yamaha Piano in St Paul MN
