Controlled temperature and humidity conditions are essential to preserve the integrity of a piano.
Here are the standard recommendations for optimal storage:
1. Temperature
Avoid sudden temperature changes: when a cold room is suddenly warmed up, moisture condenses on the piano strings and other metal parts, causing rust to form. Felt parts absorb moisture, which muffles their action, giving rise to a parasitic sound. Pay particular attention to sudden changes in temperature when installing your piano in a closed room in a concrete building, or if you live in a northern climate. It's important that the room in which your piano is housed is well ventilated and has a stable temperature.
2. Humidity
The ideal relative humidity for a piano is between 40% and 50%. Too dry an environment (humidity below 40%) can cause wooden parts to dry out and crack, while too much humidity (above 50%) can cause the wood to swell, affecting the piano's mechanics and leading to tuning problems. A humidity control system such as a humidifier or dehumidifier is often used to keep these levels stable.
3. Protection from the elements
During storage, it is important to keep the piano away from draughts, direct sunlight, heat sources such as radiators, and areas close to doors or windows where conditions may fluctuate.
By maintaining these controlled temperature and humidity conditions, you'll extend the life of your piano and prevent potential damage that could alter the sound quality and structure of the instrument.
