It isn't always easy to find a top-grade professional piano removalist. Pianos are prized possessions for many people. They generally cost a lot of money. They often have significant sentimental value. They're large musical instruments that aren't exactly easy to carry. If you're looking for a first-rate professional who specialises in piano removals, you have to take your search extremely seriously. You can't make the mistake of simply selecting the first removalist you come across. If you do, you could find yourself seriously regretting your choice quickly.
People who are searching for reputable and trustworthy piano removalists should always be highly diligent. Experience is extraordinarily important. You should always make a point to work with a piano removalist who has significant experience. Pianos often weigh more than 200kg. If a person who lacks experience attempts to handle a piano, it could lead to some severely unpleasant results. Pianos can be highly destructive to walls, floors and furnishings. That's why it's important to seek professional assistance from people who have extensive piano removals backgrounds. Piano removalists who don't have a lot of experience can also significantly harm pianos themselves. If you have a gorgeous antique piano that was given to you by your great-grandmother, the last thing you want to do is leave it in the hands of someone who quite simply doesn't have the right amount of knowledge.

Never use solvents or any other harsh chemicals on the keys. Though it may be tempting, don’t open up the piano and dust inside. That is the job for a professional. Indeed, it’s a good idea to find a technician who does know how to keep the piano’s innards good shape.
Tune the piano about twice a year. Playing a piano that’s out of tune can actually shorten its life. Besides tuning, the piano needs voicing.

The voice of a piano changes as it ages, like a human’s. If the voice is “off,” the piano needs to be checked. Continue reading “How to Take Care of An Acoustic Piano”
