We also supply climate-controlled storage for piano owners who want to protect their instruments. Since we have over 15 years of industry experience, you don’t have to sweat your instrument’s preservation.
Why Choose Our Piano Storage Services?
Each piano has a unique sound that lifts vocals and other instrumental melodies on its classic musical foundation. It requires specific conditions to maintain those gorgeous sounds and look its best during recitals and concerts. Professional piano storage in Houston, Texas, enables you to protect your instrument’s quality and beauty.
Climate-Controlled Storage for Maximum Protection
First, let’s explore the ideal storage temperature. A climate-controlled facility maintains thermostat settings between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
Any cooler and the piano’s frame and soundboard could shrink. Meanwhile, too much heat causes the wood components to expand. Both issues impact the instrument’s sound quality and ability to hold its tune.
A climate-controlled facility also keeps the humidity between 40% and 50%. Otherwise, moisture seeps into the wood, causing it to expand and attract mold. The piano won’t last as long and will sound off when played.
Flexible Short-Term and Long-Term Options
We keep our climate-controlled facilities open for all types of situations, including:
- Relocations: Moving from one place to another often brings chaos and stress. Keep your instrument somewhere safe while you arrange your new place.
- Building projects: Remodels and renovations can make your home or business less than ideal for your piano. We’ll keep it safe until you finish the project.
- Consistent storage: Our team can also accommodate the long-term needs of customers with places that lack temperature and humidity control altogether.
Benefits of Professional Piano Storage
“What do I get out of piano storage near me?” Many customers wonder what we bring to the table. Let’s explore how our facilities keep your instrument in pristine condition below.
Preventing Damage From Environmental Factors
Unmanaged moisture, temperature fluctuations, and sun exposure wreak all sorts of havoc on your instrument’s sound quality and longevity:
- Frame damage: Rising and falling temperatures cause the wooden frame to expand and contract, putting pressure on the strings, keys, and other internal components.
- Rust: Moisture corrodes the metal strings. Rusty strings often make the sound more tinny and can snap, damaging nearby parts.
- Soundboard stress: The soundboard keeps the strings in place. If it dries out or becomes too hot or cold, it may fracture and be unable to support the strings.
Climate-controlled piano storage in Houston, Texas keeps cosmetic and auditory damage at bay. When you bring your instrument out of storage, you can rest assured that it sounds the same.
