As the clocks fall back this weekend, it's that familiar reminder to change the batteries in your smoke detectors. But did you know it's also the perfect cue to think about your piano?

Just like those batteries keep your home safe, stable humidity keeps your piano sounding its best. With winter's drier air on the way, wood can contract, causing tuning instability, sticky keys, or even cracks in the soundboard. Don't let the season throw your instrument out of tune!

If it's been a while since your last service, now's the ideal time to schedule a professional tuning. You can book me through my website to keep your piano humming through the holidays. 🎹❄️

This was posted in a piano technician group I am in.

Dear world, a PSA: Furniture movers are not piano movers.

Piano moving is a specific and singular skill, which is the reason why piano moving companies exist. All they do is move pianos. That's it. Please help yourself and every piano technician in the world by using a reputable piano moving company when you next move your piano. Trust me when I say that the damage movers can do by not knowing what they're doing around pianos can be unimaginably devastating.
