How to maintain your piano during the rainy season

How to maintain the piano during the rainy season?

1. It is important to keep the room dry

When humid air comes, remember to close the windows in your home. The important periods for moisture-proofing are every morning and evening, when the air humidity is higher than at noon. If the doors and windows are not closed in time, moisture will penetrate into every corner of the home.

In addition to closing the doors and windows, a simpler method is to use the dehumidification function of the home air conditioner. Use a dehumidifier or turn on the air conditioner from time to time to extract moisture from the air and remove the moisture from the room out of the room.

2. Pay attention to the location of the piano

The piano should be kept away from humid and watery places, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and windows. In addition, the back of the piano should be kept at a certain distance from the wall.

3. Equip special moisture-proof and drying equipment

Equipped with special moisture-proof pipes, this is the most effective method. Moisture-proof pipes can increase the internal temperature of the piano, thereby reducing the intrusion of environmental moisture into the piano. The moisture-proof pipe of an upright piano is generally installed inside the lower door of the piano. When the rainy weather comes, the moisture-proof pipe can be plugged in to regulate the temperature inside the piano.

Another economical method is to place a desiccant. To use, place the desiccant on the interior floor of the piano. The desiccant will turn into a liquid after absorbing moisture, so it must be cleaned up in time, otherwise it will corrode the metal parts of the piano if it is moved and spilled.
