Care

Your piano isn’t cheap plastic junk, treat it like the serious instrument it is. Here’s everything I wish someone had told me when I bought my first Yamaha: how to clean keys without ruining them, why humidity will quietly destroy your soundboard, when you actually need a pro tuner (and when you don’t), DIY fixes that work, dehumidifier vs humidifier battles, and the little habits that make a $2,000 piano last decades instead of turning into firewood.
