Where should I put the piano at home? As long as the position is properly placed and repaired in time, the piano is not as delicate and difficult as you think.
I bought a piano for my child and didn't consider the placement when I paid for it. I thought about making a space at will.
Don't you just put it down when you come out? As a result, I came back to check the information on the internet and found that the original piano was not casually placed! My husband and I considered several alternatives and were not satisfied. Where is the right choice? Will the living room sound better? I seem to have gone to some piano boys' homes and found them all in the living room. But the main entertainment in our family is concentrated in the living room, so if the children practice the piano, everyone can't help it. Or simply change the study into a piano room, which may be relatively better. Also, if it is placed by the window, will it be easy for children to be distracted by the scenery outside the window when practicing the piano? Besides, if you forget to close the window in case of rain, will the piano break down when it rains? I can think of nothing but trouble.
My parents asked me this question before. I really didn't expect that these questions would also bring trouble to everyone. But on second thought, it's true. My parents are professional musicians. Piano, like desks and cabinets, is a natural part of the family. These details are naturally clear to them, and they have been told by me since I was a child. These are very simple things, but for parents who have never touched the piano, there must be many questions to be answered.
First, the placement of the piano. A piano room is reserved for the piano in the concert hall. When not playing, pianos are stored here, and there are special standards for temperature and humidity. At home, this condition is difficult to achieve, so you can also set aside a special piano playing space in the living room or a larger room. But at least pay attention to the space where the piano is placed, not too dry and not too wet. For example, houses in the north have heating in winter, which will make the air in the house very dry, and the wood and velvet components may shrink and deform, resulting in noise, loose stitches and loss of piano pitch. The family with floor heating decoration should pay more attention to the fact that floor heating is not good for the piano, especially the piano should never be placed near the heating air outlet. The warm wind of the sea will do great harm to the piano. As for worrying that children will be cold when practicing piano in winter, it is even more wrong to put the heater near the piano. The heat source may damage the piano parts, resulting in poor sound quality.
The focus of southern cities is moistureproof, especially in the south of the Yangtze River. Enter the rainy season in May and June every year. The humid climate often leads to mildew, degumming and even deformation of the piano wood, and the percussion mechanism of the piano is composed of velvet, felt, leather and wood, which is very sensitive to humidity. The high humidity will lead to the dull sound of the piano and the failure of the keys. Therefore, we must pay attention to dryness and ventilation at this stage, and we can also take emergency measures such as placing dehumidifiers at home or desiccant near the piano.
In addition, the piano should not be placed next to the facade wall or in front of the window. The piano shell is made of wood, which will be damaged by direct sunlight and excessive temperature change. Also keep a good ventilation environment. If possible, it's best to put the piano in the center of the house, not against the wall.
Don't pile up sundries and heavy objects on the piano at ordinary times. For example, flower arrangement is beautiful, but once you accidentally touch the flowers, water will be in big trouble when it seeps into the piano. So, please keep everything away from the piano except the music score and metronome. These are all details that need attention.
In addition, the cleaning of the piano should be added. It is best to wipe it gently with a clean soft cloth. Careful use of cleaning agents and chemicals may damage the piano shell or keys.
Piano debugging needs to be carried out regularly. It must be adjusted twice a year and after moving. As for debugging and maintenance, the principle is to fix any problems in time. For example, if the piano makes a strange sound, it should be repaired in time. Parents must not be lazy. They think only one of the 88 keys is broken. "Anyway, children can't play in that area for the time being." No, although it may not affect the music they are learning recently, they can't let their children practice on a piano with technical problems.
Where is the best place to put the piano at home? You should buy upright piano, right?
It depends on your room and the model of piano. Generally, you can buy a 125 piano and put it in the study. Pay attention to leave the palm thickness with the wall when placing, otherwise the sound will sound boring.
If you put it in the living room, the living room is relatively large, which is not only inconvenient to practice the piano, but also easy to have an echo.
Might as well put it in the study.
Requirements on how to place the piano Due to the structure and material selection of the piano itself, there are high requirements on the placement environment ―― too high humidity will cause the wooden part of the piano to swell, deform and degum, the metal part will rust, and the felt skin will swell and fall off, which will lead to the slow action of the percussion machine, the failure of the keys and the dull sound of the piano. Too dry will make the piano paint burst, and the wooden structure will shrink, deform, delaminate, crack and loosen, which will lead to the loosening of its chord, detuning of pitch and noise.
A "healthy" piano is inseparable from maintenance. It is easy to overlook that the placement of the piano is the most daily maintenance content. As far as maintenance is concerned, the placement of the piano shall meet the following requirements:
1, place the site, so the temperature is 20-25. C, the relative humidity is 50-60%.
2. The placement environment is relatively stable.
Avoid placing the piano near windows or external walls. The change of external climate (temperature and humidity) will affect the pitch and volume of the piano, and even damage the components and structure of the piano. Similarly, don't stand up straight and play the piano.
3. Avoid the damage of radiation and hot air to the piano.
The piano should be far away from radiators, heaters and other heat sources (not less than 1 m) and avoid direct sunlight.
4. Stay away from the humid environment.
The piano should be far away from the bathroom, kitchen and other places that are easy to produce humid gas.
5, need good ventilation.
When the piano is placed against the wall, keep a certain distance from the wall. Upright piano is not less than 10cm, and horizontal piano is not less than 30cm.
6, when placed, four wheels should be completely on the ground.
Are there any requirements for the placement of the piano? The best place to put the piano in the room is the lobby, which adds style and is not aimed at the air outlet of the air conditioner. Note-1. Pay special attention to moisture and dryness. About 70% of piano failures are caused by moisture. Please pay special attention to the humidity in your room. Room temperature 15 ~ 25'C, humidity about 50~70%. 2. Moisture is the enemy. It is particularly sensitive to moisture, such as finely processed joinery parts and parts made of felt cloth or leather. In order to cope with these moisture and improve durability, the piano adopts new materials that are most suitable for the functional characteristics of various components. If the humidity is extremely high and lasts for a long time, it may cause the following faults: the hammer will become muddy due to humidity. The action of the mechanical device will become dull. The keyboard will become dull. Strings, etc. It becomes easy to rust. To avoid this situation, you must not forget to maintain and take care of it. 3. Rapid temperature change is not easy to deal with sudden use of heating or cold air, or when it is suddenly closed, the outer surface of the piano will produce aerosol, and the piano strings and metal parts will produce water droplets, which is easy to rust. Because the felt cloth closely related to the action of mechanical devices is easy to absorb moisture, it is possible to change the sound quality. Especially in the case of closed reinforced concrete rooms in cold areas, it needs full and meticulous care. 4, heating appliances, please stay away from the piano, please stay away from the piano. If possible, please place a screen to avoid being directly affected by hot air. If a certain part of the piano is heated strongly, its external surface will change and its internal structure will be abnormal. Besides, you don't want to put the kettle on the heater to give off steam. We hope that the recommended heating appliances are electric heaters and radiant heaters that do not emit water vapor. 5. If drying is not overheated, the room will enter an excessively dry state. This, like moisture, is also the enemy of the piano. Wood, felt cloth, leather, etc. It may shrink and affect normal performance. The piano is a beautifully made musical instrument. Just for your long-term use, please manage the piano in a comprehensive and healthy way.

How to buy a piano? What are the requirements for the placement of the piano? First, pay attention to style and ignore quality.
Piano is a very complicated and sophisticated musical instrument. It consists of more than 8000 parts. Piano manufacturing involves many industries, such as metallurgy, textile, chemical industry, wood processing and so on. Therefore, the quality of piano is closely related to the industrial technology level of the country and enterprises, as well as the quality of employees, and these conditions are difficult to be improved in a short time. Therefore, many manufacturers have made a fuss about the appearance and style of pianos, and the appearance and style of pianos produced are varied, which caters to many people's pursuit of novelty and novelty. Especially for some small and medium-sized piano enterprises with weak technical force, in order to win more customers and higher profits. The most important thing for a piano is its performance. On the premise of good sound quality and mechanical performance of the piano, consider choosing a favorite appearance style. World famous pianos, such as Steinway piano in Germany and Yamaha piano in Japan. The appearance is simple, steady and generous, but the internal quality is incomparable to other pianos. Therefore, when buying a piano, you should pay special attention.
Second, blindly advocating foreign brands.
Looking at the pianos on the market at present, many of them are foreign brands, and there are only a few pianos of China brand, such as Xinghai and Zhujiang. Except imported pianos, such as Steinway and Boston in Germany, Yamaha and Kawai in Japan, most foreign brands of pianos are not imported from overseas, nor are they imported by Sino-foreign joint ventures and advanced equipment, not to mention imported parts introduced by so many merchants. In fact, most foreign pianos come from small and medium-sized piano factories, and their equipment conditions and technical strength are far behind those of large state-owned piano enterprises such as Beijing Piano Factory and Guangzhou Piano Factory. Choosing a well-known foreign piano brand can achieve the purpose of grandstanding and increasing sales, and also cater to some people's foreign worship psychology. Therefore, the quality of foreign brands of pianos is not necessarily high, so don't blindly trust foreign brands when choosing pianos. It is best to consult relevant brands in the industry in advance and decide which brand to buy after mastering the details.
Third, the misunderstanding of timbre.
Generally speaking, piano timbre should be loud, bright and crisp, just like many folk songs and national musical instruments in China, such as dulcimer, banhu and suona. In fact, pianos with this timbre often lack rich timbre changes and cannot reproduce music accurately and perfectly. This kind of timbre piano is often made because of poor material and poor technology. For example, the sound source is a composite material, and the hammer felt has no elasticity. The hammer felt soaked in the liquid medicine is too hard, which leads to the piano being too bright and explosive. At first glance, it is ok, but it is easy to cause hearing fatigue and gradually dislike this timbre. A good piano timbre should be pure, mellow and vigorous, not too thin and too thin, with a certain thickness, especially in the high-pitched area. The bass area should be clear and not turbid. The timbre of the whole sound area should be unified and the harmony should be strong, that is, the sounds should be held together. When shopping, you should listen more and compare more, and trust your hearing. You can also ask others to help you make a choice.
Fourth, the preference for touch.
Many people like pianos with heavy keys when choosing pianos, thinking that practicing on such pianos can exercise the strength of fingers and play powerfully. Some people also like the lightly floating piano keyboard, which feels good and can guarantee the playing speed (pianos in this case are rare). In fact, the country has design standards for the weight of piano keyboards, and it is not good to have keys that are too heavy or too light. The heavy and tight keys are often caused by the inflexible mechanical rotation of the piano keystroke and keyboard and the great resistance. Playing this kind of piano is not only easy to make people tired, but also because the keys rebound slowly and carelessly, which affects the proper technique and the playing speed. The keys of the piano are too light, often because of the lack of piano manufacturing technology and materials. Therefore, when purchasing a piano, you should choose a piano with appropriate keys, sensitive response and comfortable playing. A piano with good expressive force should be light without "dead" power. These mainly depend on the design, materials, manufacturing technology and adjustment technology of the string striking machine to ensure the smooth movement of the string striking machine in all aspects. These must be appraised by technicians with rich professional knowledge and experience.
Fifth, the confusion of second-hand piano
Over the years, with the increasing production and sales of pianos, second-hand pianos began to appear in the market. Most second-hand pianos are transferred to others after a period of use. Faced with such a piano, many people don't know how to choose. The low price of second-hand piano is exciting, but people are interested in it ... >>
Where is the piano used by my daughter at home? My piano is in the living room. I don't think it is suitable for the bedroom. Piano is a delicate musical instrument, which can't be exposed to direct sunlight or placed in a room that is too cold or too hot. If it is in the north, it can't be placed next to the heating. You can't put it in a windy place. After a long time, the board outside the piano will dry. If the room is too hot in winter in the north, you can put a basin of water next to the piano. I used deerskin when I rubbed it.
You are right about how to put the piano upstairs. Your room is very small. You shouldn't put it like this. It's a waste of space and ugly. I've hardly seen anything like it.
