Your piano is made primarily of wood, felt, wool and metal. Fluctuations in humidity can impact all these elements. Keeping consistent humidity is an essential part of piano maintenance. Piano Life Saver Systems are the best way to protect a piano from the devastating effects of humidity changes, such as tuning instability, sluggish keys & actions, and cracked soundboards & bridges. At its most elemental, the Piano Life Saver system continuously monitors the humidity inside your piano and gently dries and humidifies to maintain a stable environment.
Over time, especially with Calgary’s constant changes in humidity levels, the corresponding shrinking and swelling of the soundboard will damage its integrity. You will see this damage in the form of pressure ridges, cracks in the board as well the loss of its projection, the crown. These issues in your soundboard have an extremely negative effect on the value of your piano. By maintaining a constant level of humidity in your piano, the Piano Life Saver virtually eliminates these damaging humidity level swings and protects your instrument.
All of The Piano House technicians have certified accreditation for the installation and maintenance of the Piano Life Saver system, for more details on the system please visit their website.
