Essentials of Piano Maintenance

The best way to care for a piano is through regular playing, professional servicing, routine cleaning, and controlling environmental factors like temperature, humidity, and light.

Cleaning Tips for Piano Owners

Pianos collect dust and debris over time. Clean all accessible surfaces with a Swiffer or feather duster. Leave internal cleaning—such as strings and action parts—to a trained piano technician.

Restoring a Neglected Piano

Pianos that haven’t been maintained may need extensive cleaning and multiple tuning sessions. Restoration may take time but can bring the piano back to optimal condition.

Tuning Frequency & Seasonal Considerations

With regular care and proper humidity control, a well-maintained piano should only drift about 5% in pitch per year.
