Guardsman™ cleaning polishes for nitrocellulose lacquers require a cleaning polish application usually of no more than on a yearly basis. Feather dusters are not recommended because dust particles collect and cause minute surface scratches. Microfiber, Swiffer™ or cloths of other softer materials are best for dust removal on all types of finishes. In addition to the protection and care as mentioned above, cleaning and polishing will enhance finish patina for many years. Keeping the finish of the piano beautiful is an important factor in retaining the value of the piano for its long term musical investment. We recommend that such substances never to be in the same room. Other foreign sources of contaminants such as alcohol, soda pop, water, food, oily substances, etc., spilled inside can cause thousands of dollars of damage. This will prolong the mechanical life of the piano. Be sure the filters are changed on a regular basis when using a forced air heating, cooling and/or humidification system. Inside Your Pianoĭust and other airborne contaminants can infiltrate the fine mechanical components of the piano.

Reeder heating and cooling windows#

Most windows today are made with UV protection which retards fading and maintains a cooler surface temperature. Over time any light source will cause some fading including florescent lighting. Sunlightĭirect sunlight bleaches wood finishes and breaks down lacquer and polyester finishes. Excessive high temperatures above 90 degrees and freezing temperatures adversely affect the finish and mechanical parts of the piano. The recommended ideal temperature is between 65 and 75 degrees.

If it is not possible to keep your home or room at the recommended humidity level, we do offer a piano climate control system that we can install on your piano. Close the register securely to avoid heated air blowing directly into the piano. Be sure to avoid placing your piano over or near a heating register or close to a heat source.

Alternatively, room humidifiers will also do an excellent job in keeping your piano at the correct humidity level.

The system adds moisture when dryness exceeds 35% and dissipates excess moisture above 55%. Because adverse low and high levels of humidity will within a short time destroy an instrument, we recommend the Piano Saver System™ by Damp Chaser™ to be installed when needed. While it may be nearly impossible to maintain a constant humidity level, we recommend a range to be within 35% - 55% if at all possible. A normal relative humidity level of 42 percent has been established for both humans and pianos. Adverse degrees of humidity change should be avoided. HumidityĬhanges in humidity effect pitch stabilization and intonation of the instrument. Using the piano for performance most often requires the piano to be tuned prior to each performance. After that, most pianos should be tuned twice a year. We recommend tuning new and newly restored pianos 3-4 times the first year to maintain a standard pitch of A-440 and to establish pitch stability.
