  • Dust and Pollen: Fall is dusty and that dust ends up in your piano especially on the keys.  Make sure your keys and dusted often.

  • Swings in Temperature: AC off and heat on.  Humidity and temperature are the biggest factors for your wooden piano.  All pianos will expand and contract during this time.

  • Hammer condition: The wear on your hammers dictates how the piano sounds.  Have a "Hammer Check" done next time The Piano Doctor visits to make sure your piano is singing the best it can.

  • Pro Tip: Churches have to have their hammers worked on often to ensure optimum sound quality.  Check out this video made for a church piano a few months ago.  The same procedure can be done to your piano. Watch Now
