Provide enough ventilation (Tip #1)

Posted on May 4, 2011 in Piano Care Tips | 0 comments

Pianos need ventilation, but the wrong kind of ventilation can damage them. The best location for your piano is in the center of the room or against a wall which divides two rooms. If possible, avoid placing it next to an exterior wall where outside weather conditions might cause tone quality and volume to suffer. If there is no other choice, at least make sure that the piano has adequate ventilation on all sides.
