The Piano and Its Ongoing Care
One of the biggest problems with most pianos is that the owners fail to understand that this instrument needs ongoing and constant care in order to maintain its value. The author spends time talking about how the homemaker can spend a little time on a regular basis just cleaning and maintaining the outside of the piano, and then discusses the job of the professional piano tuner a he/she does their magic on the inside. He spends time explaining why the piano needs to be tuned on a regular (at least yearly) basis. The piano, he says, is one of the most expensive furniture pieces in most homes, and its value can be maintained for many, many years with a consistent program of care.
