Why Your Home Needs A Piano
Pianos are not only musical instruments, but also artistic and elegant pieces of furniture that can elevate your home in many ways. Here are some of the benefits of having a piano in your home:
However, not all places in your home are suitable for a piano. You should avoid placing your piano near windows, air vents, fireplaces, radiators, or kitchens, as these can expose your piano to extreme temperatures, humidity, sunlight, dust, or grease. These factors can damage your piano’s soundboard, strings, action parts, keys, and finish, affecting its performance and appearance.
The best place for a piano in your home is one that is stable, comfortable, and spacious. You should look for a place that has consistent temperature and humidity levels. You should also look for a place that has enough natural or artificial light, but not direct sunlight. You should also make sure that there is enough space around the piano for you to move comfortably and access all the keys. Ideally, you should place your piano on an interior wall or corner, away from any sources of heat, cold, moisture, or dirt.
Having a piano in your home can be a wonderful addition to your lifestyle and environment. However, you should also take good care of your piano by choosing the right place for it in your home. By doing so, you can ensure that your piano will last longer and sound better. You can also enjoy playing and listening to your piano more fully and frequently.
For many pianists—beginner, intermediate or advanced—the holiday season brings a mix of joy and pressure: guests come, schedules shift, practice time can drop. But with a little intentionality, you can use this period as a springboard rather than a pitfall.
When it comes to selecting, caring for, or upgrading a piano, brand heritage and construction quality play a huge role. Here we take a look at two major names in the field: Yamaha and Hailun.
There’s a subtle shift that happens in homes as we move from the rich tones of autumn into the sparkle of December. Your piano space doesn’t have to stay static—it can evolve with the season.
