鋼琴保養須知
1.環境條件
鋼琴對溫度和濕度變化非常敏感,特別其木材和毛氈材料,應把鋼琴房的濕度維持在45%和70%之間,溫度大約20℃左右。盡量避免氣溫突然驟變,音調會容易跑掉,而且觸感亦可能被影響。
2.鍵盤
用鋼琴專用的毛掃輕輕拍拂除去塵埃,再用微濕的鋼琴抹布擦拭,確保沒有水分淌下鍵的兩側。
3.放置
鋼琴應放在室內靠牆壁距離10至15厘米位置,避免接近窗戶,發出濕氣地方,如浴室、廚房,切忌陽光直接照射。鋼琴放置的地方應盡量通風,否則濕氣醞釀令木材容易滋生蟲害和霉菌。鋼琴的腳輪移動時可能對地板做成損害,可使用特別支撐,固定位置,保護地板而且防止鋼琴滑動做成意外。
4.鋼琴表面
無論是清潔拋光或磨光的琴面,都應先用毛掃把灰塵或粗顆粒掃走,然後使用柔軟的乾布擦拭。強烈建議不要使用一般傢俱用含有蠟或矽樹脂的用品,否則影響鋼琴表面,需要再處理的費用將會非常昂貴。
5.運輸
請緊記你鋼琴的價值,只允許專業運營商運送你的鋼琴,還請確保包含足夠的保險。
6.調整
鋼琴經過不斷的使用,需要定期進行調整,以確保在彈奏時保持最佳效果,即使鋼琴放置環境條件理想的地方,亦建議定期進行調整。
7.調音
要維持鋼琴的音高在標準水平,定期調音是必須的,應每年至少兩次。調音師在調音時,亦同時檢察鋼琴的狀況,確保鋼琴處於最理想的狀態。
溫馨提示:
帶有雙輪和停止設計的三角琴,腳輪其實以便於移動和三角琴的定位,但如果其腳輪沒有被鎖住,三角鋼琴可能有自行移動的風險。在不受控制情況下,可能會做成受傷或財產損失,所以移動或運送後,切記把腳輪鎖上。
Caring For Your Piano
1) Ambient Conditions
Wood and felt are highly sensitive to extreme changes in temperature and humidity. During the heating period a standard good-quality humidifier should be used to control and regulate humidity. The most favorable environment for your piano is a relative humidity ranging between 45% and 70% and a constant temperature of approximately 20˚C. Sudden fluctuations in temperature must be avoided as the tuning and regulation might be influenced negatively.
2) Keyboard
Use a slightly moistened, natural leather cloth to clean the keys. Make sure that no moisture trickles down the sides of the keys.
3) Location
Choose a place with the right atmospheric conditions, preferably against the inside wall of a room and not close to windows, outside doors and radiators or heating outlets. Special supports for the castors protect your floor covering. When not in use, you should ensure that the top of your instrument is closed, to prevent dust collecting inside.
4) Surface Treatment
Irrespective of whether high polish or satin finish, your piano should only be wiped with a soft, dry piece of cloth or a slightly moistened leather cloth. We strongly advise you to refrain from using furniture polish as it contains waxes and in some cases silicone. Any later re-treatment of the surface will then be very expensive.
5) Transport
Remember the high value of your piano and only allow specialist carriers to transport your piano. Make sure that you have adequate insurance coverage.
6) Regulation
Regulation is the adjustment of the action and should be carried out at regular intervals, in order to ensure an optimal uniformity of touch and play. Even if ambient conditions are satisfactory, regulations should be carried out at regular intervals.
7) Tuning
The proper pitch (440 Hz = concert pitch a1) is set by stretching the strings. We recommend frequent tuning during the first year, as the material must adapt to the immense tension. It takes a year for tuning to “settle.” Afterwards your piano should be tuned at least twice a year. The pitch should be kept at a constant level. When the pitch is frequently lowered or raised, the instrument is much less likely to remain in tune.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
GRAND PIANOS WITH DOUBLE WHEEL CASTERS AND BRAKES
The casters allow easy movement and positioning of the grand piano. There is, however, a risk that the grand piano may move of its own accord if its casters are not locked by the brakes.
In the event of uncontrolled movement people may be injured or property damaged. It is therefore important to lock the casters of the grand piano using the brakes as soon as the instrument is in position, particularly after being transported.
