Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe…” Where Should Our Piano Go?
Wither your piano is an old heirloom you’ve inherited, or a newer piece of your household’s furniture, now it’s time to move it to a new home. Finding the perfect place for your piano to rest can be a real art. Learn some tips for placing your piano in the most appropriate place within the walls of your home. This decision will maximize the beauty and quality of one of your most important furnishings.
First of all, take practicality into consideration when locating the right spot in your home for a piano. Finding the most practical place for a piano mainly entails the use of common sense. The most practical piano location will be the place where a piano fits the best (and is still easily accessible for those who play).
However, just finding the most practical place for a piano may not do your instrument justice. Because pianos are delicate instruments, they will require more than just a practical placement in your home. So go ahead and measure your piano, size up corners and nooks in your home, and then consider the following factors before your Utah piano movers dump your piano at the door.
First, think about your home’s ventilation. Pianos require proper ventilation in order for them to look good and function well. Choose a room in your home that has well circulated air.
Moreover on ventilation, the optimal location for a piano is in the center of a room. If a center area is not an option for your living space, or if you have an upright that needs a wall for positioning, choose a wall that separates two rooms. Placing your piano against a wall that borders the outside elements may change the temperature of your piano which adversely affects the tune.
Moreover, the temperature of your home will greatly affect your piano’s functionality. If the temperature within your home goes from one extreme to another (extremely cold in the winter, and extremely warm in the summer) plan on your instrument going out of tune easily. The goal is to keep your home’s temperatures relatively constant throughout the year; otherwise you will be paying for tune ups several times a year.
Finding proper ventilation for your piano may also entail a complete assessment of your home’s overall ventilation. Having vents checked and cleaned professionally can improve the circulation in your home. Stagnant (too humid or too dry) air or unfiltered air can wear on your piano as well.
