Make sure that the piano fall board (keyboard cover) is locked after use. Please use only District provided lock (P601). If you do not have a lock or lock hasp, please let us know and we will provide one. If you request a piano service and the piano is locked with a non-district lock, then the technician will not be able to service it.
When opening the fall board, make sure there are no objects such as pencils, drum sticks, paper clips, etc. Objects can roll inside the piano and cause piano action to malfunction and cause buzzing sounds.
Key tops can get very dirty, and can be cleaned with a multi-purpose cleaner. Just spray the cleaner on a soft rag and wipe the key tops.
If you would like to roll the grand piano across the auditorium floor or room, make sure there is clearance between the pedal lyre and floor, this will avoid causing the lyre to snap and break. If you want to place a grand piano facing the wall, please make sure the piano bench is not in front of the piano. A bench that is left in front of the piano will cause the pedal assembly to snap, which can severely damage the piano or in some cases cause personal injury.
Try to avoid placing pianos in a location where air conditioning or heater vents are blowing directly at the back of the piano. If possible, try to avoid placing the piano in a location where the sun shines on the back of the piano.
