Humidity and Your Piano

Colorado winters are very dry and can have devastating effects on your beloved piano. Humidity control is very important. To take proper care of your instruments, use a home humidifier in the winter. Humidify the home starting from when you turn your heat on in the fall to turning it off in the spring. We get enough humidity in the summer.
