Good to know

After transport: Here's what you should know

A piano needs to be tuned after every move due to the vibrations and changes in humidity. Wait one to two weeks for the instrument to adjust to the new environment. After that, your piano tuner can make the final adjustments.

Do not place the piano directly against an exterior wall, in front of a radiator, or in direct sunlight. A stable room temperature of around 20°C and a humidity level of 40–60% are ideal. This will help keep your instrument in tune for the long term.
