Why use a piano mover?
Piano moving is no small task. The sheer weight and size of pianos and
organs make them difficult to handle for most people. In the hands of
someone not trained in piano moving, an attempt to move a piano or organ can
cause damage to the instrument and your home or building.
Still, many people
hesitate to call professional piano movers because they mistakenly believe
the cost for piano moving is extremely high, or that the piano movers won't
show up on time. Rest assured that BACK2BACK Moving & Storage offers fair
prices, and we treat your piano as if it was one of our own.
What is tuning? When is it required?
Tuning is the adjustment made to the strings to bring each string to it's
proper tension.
Pianos need to be tuned when there is a change in
atmosphere. So tuning with the change of the seasons is advised, about 6
weeks after. New pianos should be tuned 3- 4 times the first year. Whenever
a piano is moved, whether in the house, across town or across the United
States, make that appointment with your tuner. Pianos should be regulated
every 5 years.
How do I care for my piano?
Your piano is not just a piece of furniture. It is more than likely an
investment. It is not just an investment for monetary reasons, it is now an
heirloom piece and emotional keepsake. Play your piano as much as
possible. Be sure to maintain room temperature between 72 degrees and 75
degrees. Keeping humidity between 40- 50 %. Keep piano away from extremely
dry areas. Always use a soft cloth when cleaning the cabinet of your piano.
Increasing the shine can best be achieved by using liquid wax. Clean the
keys with a soft damp cloth. Keep the inside of our piano clean. Have a
technician do this when it is being tuned.
If ever something is dropped
inside the piano, STOP, call a technician. You can seriously damage your
piano and become more costly if more damage were to occur. |
