At MB Piano Store, we often see pianos that tell silent stories through their condition. Today, we want to share some essential insights about piano care that we've gathered through years of experience serving Greater London's music community.


## The Symphony of Proper Maintenance


Many piano owners come to us believing that annual tuning is all their instrument needs. While tuning is crucial, it's just one note in the symphony of proper piano care. Your piano is a sophisticated instrument containing thousands of precisely engineered parts, each playing a vital role in creating the music you love.


## What Your Piano Needs to Thrive


Regular maintenance should include several key elements:


- Professional tuning to maintain pitch accuracy

- Action regulation to ensure consistent touch and response across all keys

- Voicing adjustments to preserve the instrument's characteristic tone

- Humidity monitoring to protect wooden components

- Regular cleaning to prevent dust accumulation in the action mechanism


## Preventive Care: An Investment in Music


One of the most valuable lessons we've learned in our years of piano restoration is that preventive care is invaluable. Small issues, when caught early, can be addressed before they develop into major problems requiring costly repairs. Think of it as health care for your piano – regular check-ups prevent serious ailments.

## Storage Tip of the Day


London's climate presents unique challenges for piano storage. Today's essential tip focuses on humidity control: invest in a hygrometer for your piano room. The ideal humidity range is between 45-70%, and maintaining these levels helps prevent numerous potential issues. We stock professional-grade hygrometers and can demonstrate their proper use.
