TUNING
Changing humidity affects the tuning of a pano more than just about anything else.
In northeast Ohio, that means a piano can go through some wild pitch changes over the course of a year.
The objective is to try to stabilize the instrument as best as possible. This is best achieved by regular tuning where incremental changes are made, as opposed to large pitch adjustments.
For best results, seasonal tunings are recommended for this area.
A proven way to maintain tuning stability is to maintain a stable environment for the piano. The can be achieved by installing a humidity control system. Please ask about the certified installation of a Piano Life Saver System by Dampp-Chaser.

CLEANING
Please call to schedule a thorough and professional cleaning and polishing of your piano, inside and out. • 330-801-0089
- You can vacuum your piano with a brush attachment by opening the top or removing the kick board.
- Use a computer vacuum attachment to get between the keys.
- Key tops and fronts can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a little elbow grease.
- For tough grime, a mild solution of Murphy's oil soap or Simple Green may be used.
- Make the pedals shine with a little Brasso or Flitz. Be careful not to get any on the felt or wood.
- For a wood finish, citrus oil cleaners are usually good. Check on a small discrete area first.
- For a high gloss polyester finish, Meguiar's Quick Detailer works well.
- An ounce of prevention: Do not use the piano as a table tray. If it's on the piano, it will find its way into the piano. It only takes one spilled drink to ruin an instrument.
