Where should I put the piano? In today's life, many parents buy a piano in order to let their children learn the piano. But from the perspective of feng shui, the placement of the piano is exquisite. So where should I put the piano? Let's have a look!
Where should I put the piano? 1 Geomantic placement of the piano.
1, pest control
Because a large number of woolen products such as pure felt and woolen cloth are used in the piano, bacteria and insects are easy to breed, so insect repellent should be placed in the piano regularly, especially in the wet season (generally, the living room is well ventilated, such as the bedroom).
2, anti-drying
The northern area is very dry, and the relative humidity of the piano should be kept between 40% and 60%. Especially during the heating period in winter, water cups must be placed in the piano to adjust the humidity in the piano, so as to prevent the keyboard from being distorted and deformed, resulting in the keys of the piano not rising, the pins of the chords being loose, resulting in the sound change and the sound board cracking. The method is to open the lower door panel of the piano, put a large open water cup, and regularly add water to the gap at the bottom. Keep a distance of more than one meter between the piano and the radiator.
3, prevent direct sunlight
Long-term direct sunlight will make the paint surface of the piano discolored, cracked and tarnished, so use curtains to block or cover the piano. Look at your bedroom or living room, which one lasts longer in direct sunlight, choose. )
4. Noise
Because the piano has a very wide range, if the vibration frequency of an object placed near the piano is consistent with the vibration frequency of a certain sound of the piano, then when playing this sound, noise will be generated due to the vibration principle of * * *, so please pay attention to eliminating it in time. (Look at the size of the bedroom, if it is too small, the piano is too close to the surrounding objects; The living room should be placed in a good place, preferably wide and with few objects around.
Floor: The floor is too soft to bear such a heavy piano and deform. When playing the piano, these objects are consistent with a certain melody of the piano, and the above noise is generated due to the vibration of * * (which distinguishes the bedroom from the living room floor).
5. move gently, move less
When transporting and placing the piano, you should handle it with care. After fixing the position, move less to reduce unnecessary vibration, affect the melody or damage parts.
Secondly, the position of the piano can be based on personal preference. If it's upright piano, it doesn't make much difference in the bedroom and living room. If it's grand piano, it's best to put it in the living room. Generally, the living room is larger and the scope is better than that of the bedroom.
Thirdly, pay attention to the echo of the living room and bedroom, which will directly affect the sound quality of the piano.
Also, pay attention to the dry humidity in the living room and bedroom, and keep the dry humidity inside the piano at 40%-60%. If you are a humid city in the south, it is ok. If you are in the north, it should be calculated according to the square meters available for humidifiers. If it is enough for the living room, you can stay in the guest room.
In a word, piano placement is necessary and a very delicate matter. Too high or too low indoor temperature, too dry or too wet are bad for piano parts and piano body. Also remember that it needs to be adjusted and mechanically arranged 1-2 times a year to keep the best use.
Where should I put the piano? Piano is not only a musical instrument, but also a work of art, which can be regarded as a piece of furniture. Therefore, it is not easy to find the best place to live for the piano-it must be pleasing to the eye and good in hearing, which is harmless to it. Like many teaching units, it is of course best to have a special piano room for piano, but it is unrealistic for families.
How to put the piano best? Many piano friends buy their pianos home, but they are worried that they can't find a suitable place to put them. So where should I put the piano? How to place the piano is the most correct choice. The following "Top Piano" provides some reference methods for friends who are going to buy or own a piano.
The external materials of the piano are mainly wood parts and metal parts, and the internal movement is mainly wood and felt, because the materials are greatly influenced by the climate. The changes of heat, cold, dryness and humidity will lead to the contraction or expansion of these materials, thus changing percussion instruments and keyboards, resulting in changes in touch, timbre and timbre. What you can do is to put the piano away from the frequently opened doors and windows and close to a wall. Stay away from heating and fireplace, avoid direct air conditioning, direct sunlight, and stay away from toilet and kitchen oil pollution. It is best to put it in an environment with constant temperature and small humidity change. Ideally, the temperature is about 20℃ and the humidity is about 40%.
After choosing the placement location, there are still some places to pay attention to. If the piano needs to be placed against the wall, it is best to choose the inner wall, because the outer wall is easy to rub against the piano. The piano needs to keep a certain distance from the wall, generally upright piano 10 cm, grand piano 30 cm, so as to ensure the piano is well ventilated and full of sound. The piano should also be placed in a position to avoid sudden quenching and heating, especially where it is heated, so as to prevent the wood from being deformed due to temperature.
The acoustics of the room are also very important. If there is too much furniture in the room, the piano will be squeezed in the cracks, so that the timbre of the piano cannot be displayed normally. Special attention should be paid to giving the piano practitioner a space for free activities and not giving the performer a sense of oppression. For a small piano room, adding a carpet to the ground and putting more furniture can properly absorb sound. If it is a small piano and a big room, try not to put too much furniture around the piano and don't lay carpets on the ground. The simpler the room, the better. Otherwise, it is difficult to expect the piano to have excellent timbre performance.
Try not to put vases, photo frames and other items that are easy to shake the piano. Don't even put a container full of water on the piano. Once the water splashes on the piano, the consequences are unimaginable. In addition, we should pay special attention to some small stationery, such as paper clips, blades, small rulers and other objects falling into the piano, otherwise it will not be just a simple mechanical failure.
In a room with a floor or carpet, a piano pad should be placed under the foot of the piano. The softer the ground, the bigger the bottom of the mat, but the height of the mat must be appropriate, otherwise it will easily cause discomfort when stepping on it.
Unless the keyboard of the piano is made of ivory, the piano should always be covered with a cover to prevent dust when not in use. Ivory is similar to wood. The biggest advantage of using this natural material as a keyboard is that it can absorb the sweat from the player's hands and keep the surface dry. So once it absorbs sweat, let the water evaporate, otherwise the ivory will turn yellow.
In the rainy season in the south, the humidity is high. Try not to open the window in rainy days. According to the conditions, the piano should use a dehumidifier or a special piano dehumidifier.
The rationality of piano placement can be said to be an important issue that determines the fate of piano. Our comfortable living environment is a good place for piano. In addition, the piano can't be moved often, so please consider where to put the piano before placing it.
Problems to be considered in piano placement
1. Is the floor level ok?
The weight of the piano is roughly as follows:
In upright piano, the grand piano is 200 kg ~ 290 kg small, 250 kg ~ 320 kg medium and 270 kg ~ 400 kg large. If the strength of the floor is not enough, accidents will easily occur. In addition, if the floor is tilted or uneven, the placement of the piano will be unstable and the function of the piano will be bad. Please put the piano on the flat floor.
2. In order to protect the floor
When the piano is placed indoors, the casters (wheels) of the piano may damage or dirty the floor and carpet, so it is suggested to use "isolator" (wheel seat) or "cover plate" as the equipment for bearing the casters.
3. Don't be too close to the outer wall.
The external walls of buildings are easy to absorb moisture and will be constantly affected by the outside air. Therefore, if the piano is too close to the wall, it may also damage the sound quality and volume. Please leave 10 ~ 15 cm. If possible, the partition or sliding door facing between rooms is the most ideal. Also, in the case of residential areas or apartments, we should pay attention to stay away from the kitchen and bathroom.
4. Sound insulation and precautions for sound insulation.
Upright piano's voice comes from the back, and in grand piano's case, it will come from the lower side. So, if you put your back to the window of the room, the sound will keep leaking from the window. The suggestions are "don't put it by the window" and "don't face the neighbor's house directly"
Don't put it in the direct sunlight.
The exterior decoration of the piano is mostly made of wood, so it is very important to avoid direct sunlight and rapid changes in humidity and temperature. Refracted sunlight entering the window is not suitable for piano, and it is also vulnerable to wind, rain and dust. If you have to put the piano by the window, please install thick curtains.
6. Place
In the case of residential areas and apartments, the external walls are shared with neighbors, so we should use our brains especially not to disturb or influence neighbors.
7. In order to make the piano sound more perfect
The piano music we usually hear reaches our ears through the following two paths. One of them is the sound made by the piano, that is, the sound that directly enters the ear, and the other is the sound that enters the ear during the reflection of the walls, ceilings and furniture of the room. In order to avoid the situation that only one sound sounds loud or all the sounds are concentrated in a certain place in the room, and the whole room can hear even music, please make more efforts in the placement of the piano, such as using furniture to make the sound reflect irregularly in all directions.
In addition, the reverberation time of sound in the whole room is very important for enjoying carefree music. The sound sounds heavy. When it is slightly turbid (there are many western-style rooms), you can spread thick carpets and put down thick curtains to absorb the sound. On the contrary, if the echo is not enough (there are many Japanese-style rooms), you can use a large partition on the wall or a hard furniture surface to enhance the reflection of the sound and do your best.
8. Pay attention to garbage and dust.
If garbage and dust enter the room, it will have a bad influence on the piano. In order to keep beautiful timbre and correct interval permanently, please put the piano in a well-ventilated place with little garbage and dust.
