Top 5 Storage Mistakes to Avoid—Importance of Professional Piano Storage

If you're planning to store your piano, it's easy to make costly mistakes. Here are the top 5 pitfalls to avoid—and why professional piano storage with Brigham Larson Pianos is the safer choice:

1. Storing in a Garage or Basement These spaces fluctuate in temperature and humidity, leading to major damage over time.

2. Improper Wrapping or Padding Using the wrong materials (like plastic wrap directly on wood) can trap moisture and ruin the finish.

3. Unstable Surfaces Uneven floors can warp the piano’s frame or stress the legs over time.

4. DIY Moving Pianos are heavy, delicate, and dangerous to move without proper equipment and training.

5. Skipping Routine Maintenance A piano in storage still needs tuning and occasional inspections.
