Which Bench Is Most Suitable For You.

 The right piano bench can make the difference.

 Though your piano and bench don't have to match, you do need a bench or stool that is comfortable, offers the correct height and of course ...complements the piano and the piano player.

 Most pianists considered the piano bench an intricate part of their performance and finding that perfect bench that fits your particular needs can be daunting.

 For an older player, a regular piano bench would be the ideal, though if over 5 feet, 6 inches an adjustable bench might be preferable but keep in mind that adjustable benches are available in varying sizes.

Never spray polish on the piano

In general, furniture polishes and lemon oils are not recommended except for specialized polishes intended for high-gloss finishes.

Polish's that contain silicone are  extremely dangerous because their tendency to spread within the piano, sometimes causing extensive damage.

Piano Keys

Modern Piano Keys

Most modern piano keys...there are exceptions... are  made out of  spruce or basswood and covered with plastic.

 Old high end pianos whose keys were made from ivory popularized the term ..."Tickling The Ivory" which referred to an accomplished piano player but that all changed when ivory keys were no longer legally available starting in the 1950's.

Ebony and Ivory Keys

88 Keys On A Piano

There are 88 keys on a piano that need cleaning because of  dirt and  oil from players fingers.

There are 52..."natural"... white keys typically made of plastic or ivory and 36..."sharps"... made from plastic, hardwood, or ebony.

Cleaning the Keys

Clean natural keys with a back to front motion rather than side-to-side. Wiping side-to-side can allow needless  moisture to seep between keys and cause damage.

Cleaning Piano Keys

Use a soft cloth...never use paper towels..., dampened with filtered  water...minerals can alter the appearance of the finish...and a small amount of mild soap...dry immediately with a new clean soft cloth to prevent dirt and oils from seeping between the keys.

Ivory keys are porous and typically thinner, and excessive moisture can penetrate and loosen their glue joints... dry immediately.

To keep the ivory keys in great shape for years to come, take a clean, soft cloth and spread a thin layer of the plain yogurt over each key. Gently work the thin layer of plain yogurt into the key with the cloth and then wipe it off with another clean, soft cloth.

Clean sharps using the same direction as above..."without the yogurt"... but use a separate cloth for painted wooden sharps to avoid black stains on the white keys.

Disinfect your piano keys

Disinfect Your Piano Keys

Never use popular sprays or disinfectants such as Lysol or similar disinfectants on your piano keys and avoid the use of rubbing alcohol or solvents that can damage the key surface.

---

 Always remember to use a separate cloth 

when cleaning the black keys.

---

Clean using a solution comprised of 3 parts filtered water to 1 part white vinegar.

A good habit to cultivate is never to play the piano with dirty hands. That way the keyboard will stay clean for a long time.

Is Your Piano Safe With Your Home Movers?

It doesn’t matter whether you just bought a baby grand or upright piano... it deserves a higher level of awareness, years of training and experience when moving from one location to another.

 A piano is a precision musical instrument that comes with over 200 finely tuned strings and over a 1000 moving parts, any of which can become damaged or destroyed if the piano isn’t handled properly during a move.

 

Most experienced  short and long distance piano moving services in Georgia consider moving a piano or organ as the most dangerous item to move and it is easy to see why. They are big, they are heavy and they weigh a ton, and may require rigging due to their massive size and fragile legs..

 

Remember...not every home mover  is an experienced piano mover capable of moving delicate and heavy equipment such as a piano or organ even if they claim to be otherwise.

How To Find The Best Piano Movers In Atlanta?

How to Find the Best
Piano Movers in Metro Atlanta

`

 You have just moved to Georgia and now you need someone to transport your Grand piano up the stairs, to the 13^th floor and into your new apartment.  The instrument cost you a bundle and not just any Atlanta piano or organ mover will do.

 So how do you choose the best movers in the metro Atlanta area when you are new resident? Here is how you can ensure that your prized investment is transported into the safety of your living room in one piece ...contact Bennett Piano Movers in Atlanta

Not All Piano Movers Are Equal

 Like any moving company, piano movers also differ in the type and quality of services offered. Not every service will look after your investment with the integrity and care that it deserves.

 Most piano movers specialize in transporting other types of furniture as well. You do not want them handling your piano like someone’s punching bag. Make sure that the movers you hire are insured and specialize in moving pianos.

Do They Carry Workman’s Insurance?

 Keep looking if they don’t. Once you contract a company they are considered your employees for the time that they are working for you. If the moving company you hire does not cover the safety of its workers, you will be expected to accept full liability in the event an employee becomes injured while moving your piano. This will also involve possible law suits if the injured workers try to sue you for damages.

 A professional piano mover will use two to three people to move the instrument. The move will also involve specialized equipment such as moving pads, ramps, slings and piano skids to be successful.

 Kindly ask the movers to leave...if all they arrive with your doorstep with nothing but a roll of flimsy duct tape.

Why should you Hire the Pros?

 Why do you need a professional piano mover like Bennett Piano to transport your instrument in Georgia?

 The average piano weighs up to 400 to 900 pounds. Grand pianos on the other hand can weigh up to a whopping 650 to 1300 pounds depending on the model.  A regular house moving company will not be equipped to handle the weight and ensure that it gets to its destination without a scratch.

 You will need the expertise of a professional piano mover to dismantle a Grand piano, get it out of your previous home and reassemble it in your new home.
