How should I maintain my Hanon piano?

Generally, it is moisture-proof, and then fixed to ask professionals to maintain and tune, you can also ask the store for details.

The piano is a relatively delicate musical instrument, once properly maintained and used, it can be used for about 70 years, and the life span is long.

Hanon pianos are mainly made of wood, so there will be certain changes in different temperatures and humidity environments, especially the felt liner of the parts is very sensitive to temperature changes.

The pitch change will be more pronounced between minus 10 and 36, not so much for other components, and the water content in the air will change significantly if it is higher than 40-80 percent.

If the temperature is too low, some parts of the screws will loosen, resulting in noise or a feeling of looseness, and if it is too dry, it will also damage the piano.

Place a moisture barrier in the lower baffle of the piano, or install a 25W incandescent bulb to protect against moisture.

In addition to using a humidifier (the humidifier is prone to bacteria, it is recommended to use the sterilization function) can also put a few pots of flowers that emit moisture indoors, if there is a heater, place a sink on the heater, and use the heat to evaporate the piano is easy for people.

1.Maintain good ventilation (pianos need good ventilation, poor ventilation will cause damage to the piano).

2.Do not place the piano near a window (as much as possible, the piano shell is a wooden structure, avoid direct sunlight and sudden changes in temperature and humidity).

3.Keep away from heat sources (the piano should be kept away from heat sources such as radiators or heaters, so as not to damage the external and internal components of the piano, resulting in a decrease in sound quality and feel quality).

4.The right environment ensures a better sound (the right temperature and humidity, good ventilation are necessary for the best performance and acoustic quality of the piano).

6.Avoid over-drying (damp conditions are a problem for pianos, but over-drying is even more disadvantageous, especially in artificially dehumidifying rooms with air conditioners).

7.Never place an item on the top cover of the piano (if a heavy object is placed on the top cover of the piano it will cause noise).

8.Keep the piano clean (wipe the keyboard regularly with a soft, dry cloth and never use an alcohol-based cleaner to avoid the keys breaking).

The above is the basic maintenance method of our Hanon piano, as long as it is used in accordance with the correct maintenance, our Hanon piano will still be as bright as new and will always accompany you.

Insect control measures. Insect repellent for clothing used in the general household can be used on the piano. The insect repellent should be placed on the upper part of the piano, open the upper top cover of the piano, and see that there are metal nuts on both sides of the piano to fix the action, hang it on it, and replace it regularly.

Moisture-proof treatment for pianos.

Open the lower door panel of the piano, and put some desiccant on the bottom plate of the pedal to keep the inside of the piano dry. You can also choose a special heating tube for piano, the cost of the heating tube is higher, but the effect of moisture-proof is better. Pianos used in humid areas must use moisture-proof heating tubes to ensure the dryness of the piano.

It is also important to ventilate the piano as necessary. When the weather is nice, open the window and open the top lid of the piano to allow for full air circulation. Allow sunlight to enter the room, but avoid direct exposure to the piano.

This keeps the inside of the piano dry and prolongs the life of the piano.

Anti-drying treatment of piano.

If you use a piano in the north or in a region with a dry climate, you need to carry out treatment to prevent the piano from drying out. The excessive drying of the air will also have a great impact on the piano, the most direct impact is the stability of the pitch, followed by the cracking and deformation of the wood, so it is very important to prevent the piano from drying.

In order to prevent the piano from being in an excessively dry environment all the time, a relatively simple method is generally adopted, which is to place a wide-mouth container at the bottom of the piano and fill it with water so that it can naturally dissipate in the piano to ensure the humidity required by the piano. A humidifier can also be used in the home to ensure the humidity required for the piano.

Protection of the lacquer surface.

Pianos are protected by a piano cover when they are usually placed, but dust can still get in. Although the paint surface of the piano is very thick, there are still a lot of scratches that can appear if it is not wiped properly. Using a soft cloth or deerskin to treat the surface dust, and then using a piano-specific brightener to rub the surface will make the paint film extra shiny and maintain a certain amount of lubrication.

Regular tuning and maintenance.

In order to ensure the service life of the piano, it is necessary to carry out normal maintenance and maintenance of the piano regularly. Under normal circumstances, professional piano tuning and mechanical finishing should be carried out at least once a year, and if possible, it should be done twice a year. The newly purchased piano should be tuned every six months within two years.
