Here is a helpful guide to cleaning and Maintaining your Piano.

Cleaning your Piano

We recommend using a damp cloth, followed by a dry cloth. Make sure that your cloths are clean and free of any small particles that can scratch the piano while dusting it. Always use a soft touch cloth, when wiping your piano.

Avoid placing plants or drinks on your piano. We carry a great selection of piano polish, specific to finish type of your piano.

Remember that piano strings are made of steel, so do not use a damp cloth on any steel parts, or they will rust.

For cleaning finger marks on your piano that do not come off with a damp cloth, we recommend a piano polish formulated specifically for the finish of your piano.

We recommend not using furniture polishes or spray cleaners on your piano. Over time your piano will start to occur a build-up from using such heavy chemicals. We have a great selection of Cory Products to help you care properly for your piano. For more information, please feel free to contact us at themusicalgallery@gmail.com.

How Often Should A Piano Be Thoroughly Cleaned?

A piano should be thoroughly cleaned at least once every three years. This includes vacuuming the key bed, and cleaning the strings and soundboard.

Cleaning the Keys

The best way to clean the keys, both white and black, is with a damp and dry cloth. It is important to note that excess moisture could be harmful to the wood and felt brushings on which the keys are mounted. A light touch of a damp cloth is all that is required to clean the keys. Be sure to dry the keys thoroughly after cleaning to avoid moisture damage and to give them a well-polished look.

Rebuilding a Piano

Rebuilding an old piano can restore it to near original condition, lengthening its life and maximizing the enjoyment derived from playing it. Depending on the piano, it may be a complicated and costly venture, or it could be a very simple matter of replacing a few worn parts.

What is involved?

The most commonly replaced parts of a piano are the hammers, which over time develop grooves where they impact the strings causing misalignment or even breaking. The felt can often be reshaped but may need to be replaced. Depending on the condition of the hammers, either the hammer-heads, or the whole hammer assembly may need to be replaced. This is not a big job, but it can dramatically improve the sound of the piano. Other action parts undergo normal aging and wear, but do not usually need to be replaced.

Another common problem with older pianos is chipped keys. This is not only unsightly, but can make the piano very uncomfortable to play. Replacing the key tops is relatively inexpensive, and makes a big difference to the look and playability of your piano.

Loose tuning pins can be caused by change in humidity, poor tuning, or a damaged pin block. Depending on the condition of the pin block, the problem can often be corrected by repining the piano with larger pins.

Good strings (when properly installed) can perform well for many years. Although re stringing is relatively costly, the difference in sound is like night and day. Poor strings can ruin the sound of an otherwise beautiful piano. Soundboard and bridge repair can be fairly complicated, and are often the deciding factor as to whether the piano is worth fixing. To fix a cracked soundboard, the cracked area must be removed and replaced to restore the resonant qualities. Or, the entire soundboard must be replaced. We recommend buying the book "Piano Servicing, Tuning, and Rebuilding" by Arthur A. Reblitz.

Refinishing a Piano

Although the exterior of the piano is not critical to the sound, it is however aesthetically important and can effect the resale value of your piano. Many older pianos have beautifully ornate cabinets, often made with woods that are very expensive or simply not available today. A new finish brings a piano like this back to life. Depending on the condition of the finish, a new finish may be as simple as cleaning and filing the existing finish.

How often should I get my Piano Tuned?

You can have your Piano Tuned as often as you feel necessary. It is however, recommended that you get your Piano Tuned Twice a year. We recommend, that you tune your Piano in the late Fall and mid Spring. This is the time of year when the humidity changes in your home, due to turning on your Heat or Air Conditioner. A change in humidity, will cause the wood structure of your Piano to expand and contract, therefore causing your Piano to go out of tune. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or comments, that you might have at themusicalgallery@gmail.com.

TUNING YOUR OWN PIANO:

The fabulous book, "Piano Servicing,Tuning, and Rebuilding", by Arthur A. Reblitz will tell you everything you need to know to care for, tune and maintain your Piano. It is the best book, bar none for getting started in the Piano Tuning business.

We recommend that you use the Basic Tuning kit to clean up unisons and to just "tweak" your piano slightly. However, if you are interested in becoming a piano tuner/technician, you should buy the book above by Arthur Reblitz. It will teach you everything you need to know about tuning, repair, voicing and regulation.
