Where should I place the piano in my home?

A piano is an intricately constructed instrument and it can be impacted by different environmental factors including fluctuations in temperature and humidity, wind and light. The location of the piano should have a stable temperature and avoid large changes in humidity and exposure to wind flowing in from outside. Thus, your piano should never be placed on a western wall, which will be heated daily by the afternoon sun. It should also not be left directly under an open window or in any breezeway. These areas can create movement in the piano, resulting in unstable tuning. For more detailed information, please consult with your piano technician.
