Pianos are sensitive to environmental changes, especially humidity and temperature. To prevent damage, keep your piano away from direct sunlight, heaters, and damp areas.
-
Ideal room conditions: A constant temperature of 25 degree and a humidity level of 40-60% will help your piano stay in tune and maintain its tone quality.
-
Use a humidity control system to protect your piano if needed.
Tip: Consider investing in a piano dehumidifier to protect your piano during Singapore’s humid months.
Consistent Temperature Control
One of the most important aspects of piano maintenance is tuning. A well-tuned piano sounds beautiful and encourages proper learning for young pianists.
-
How often to tune: A new piano should be tuned 4-6 times within the first year of use, and once every 6-12 months after that.
-
Why tune regularly: Changes in temperature and humidity can affect the tension of the piano strings, making the piano go out of tune.
Tip: Schedule regular tunings with a professional technician. At Melodious Piano Boutique, we offer piano tuning services to keep your piano in peak condition.

Dust, dirt, and debris can accumulate on your piano and affect its aesthetic appeal and functioning. Regular cleaning ensures your piano stays visually attractive and performs better.
-
How to clean: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the keys, body, and pedals. For more stubborn stains, use a slightly damp cloth (but never wet) with a little gentle wood polish.
-
Cleaning the keys: Wipe the keys gently, as fingerprints and oils can accumulate quickly, affecting the piano’s finish.
Tip: Avoid using harsh cleaning products, as they may damage the finish or the wood.
