It is important to keep your piano's room room climate-controlled. This is why. Climate-control will ensure that the piano is not exposed to extreme temperatures or humidity levels, which can damage the wood and other components. Tuning your piano regularly to keep it sounding its best. Tuning your piano will also help to protect it from damage that changes in temperature and humidity can cause. Checking humidity levels in your home is important. If the air is too dry, it can cause the wood in your piano to shrink, causing the piano to go out of tune. If it is too humid, felts will swell and notes will stick. So use your air-conditioning in the summer, close windows and doors near the piano, and keep heat vents closed that are near your piano.

How is a piano like a car???? To maintain your car, the oil should be changed periodically. If not, your car will stop running, or run poorly. To maintain your piano, the piano should be tuned either once or twice a year. If not, the piano will play poorly...unisons will not match. The piano has wooden parts which expand and contract with changes in temperature. This expansion and contraction effects the strings and pin block, the sound board and the bridge. As your piano tuner, I not only TUNE your piano but check all of its parts to prevent a major problem from occurring. How is your piano like a car? Your car needs a good, reliable, experienced, honest mechanic. So does your piano:)
