Piano and Weather - Pianonvirittäjät.net

The northern climate in Finland can be quite a challenge for pianos. The end of summer's 60% humidity and the near 20% humidity in the cold winter cause tension to the structures of the pianos. it is easiest to tell this from the tuning of the instrument.

When it is humid the tuning tends to rise and in the dry air the tuning gets lower. The ideal humidity conditions for pianos are often around 40-50%. This will help the sound of the instruments to be at their best. The extremely dry air can even be harmful to instrument by causing damage to their wooden structures.

One of the ways to help maintain the condition of the valuable instrument stable is the Piano Life Saver -humidifier/dehumidifier that can be installed inside piano or grand piano. In Finland the price of this device installed is around 500 euros.
