Piano Care & Advice

Simple steps to protect your piano and keep it sounding its best.

Your piano is a major investment. Regular care is the most cost-effective way to maintain tone, stability, and long-term value.

Tuning Advice

The piano is one of the most complex instruments, with over 500 moving parts and 15–20 tons of string tension. Proper tuning requires experience and precision — it is not a DIY task.

Most manufacturers recommend tuning four times during the first year to help the piano adjust to its environment. After that, tuning at least twice per year is recommended.

Choosing the right technician matters. If you're in the Wichita area, we’re happy to help with service visits or questions.

Keeping a Nice Finish

Never place drinks on your piano — this is the most common cause of damage.

Avoid placing lamps or plants directly on the surface unless they have protective felt bottoms.

Cleaning

Most modern finishes only require occasional wiping with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid frequent polishing.

Clean white keys with a damp cloth and mild soap, wiping front-to-back. Avoid excess moisture. Use a separate cloth for black keys.

Interior cleaning should be handled by a technician, as internal parts are delicate.

Placing Your Piano

Place your piano on an interior wall to avoid temperature swings.

Keep it out of direct sunlight to protect both tuning stability and finish.
