"A clean room makes you feel refreshed."
Have you ever felt this way?
The same thing can be said about playing the piano.
If the environment around the piano is dirty, there is no way you will be able to play beautifully and clearly.
Cleaning around the piano is easy.
However, the problem is the piano itself.
If all you have to do is remove the dust, you can do it easily, but pianos can be very troublesome to maintain, such as rust on the metal parts and dust that has fallen into the gaps between the keys.
You don't want to get the piano body dirty, right?
This time, we will introduce three covers to keep your piano from getting dirty so you can continue using it for a long time.

Prerequisite: Do not play with dirty hands
The most important thing to do to keep the piano clean is not to touch the keys with dirty hands.
The keyboard is an area that takes a little time to clean and maintain.
If you wipe the keyboard normally, dust and dirt will fall into the gaps between the keys.
However, it's a pain to press each key one by one and clean the sides.
If so, all you have to do is make sure it doesn't get dirty in the first place.
Before enjoying a piano lesson or performance, be sure to get into the habit of washing your hands .
Pay special attention to the tips of your fingers.
Don't get too focused on your palms.
Three covers to protect your piano from dust and dirt
Just by leaving the piano in your room, dust will accumulate.
Whether it's an upright piano, electronic piano, or keyboard, the body color is usually black or white.
Both colors make dust very noticeable.
There are three places where dust tends to accumulate.
The first is the body at the top of the piano,
the keyboard, which tends to collect dust and is difficult to clean .
Lastly, the pedal .
Especially when it comes to the last pedal, it can get scratched not only by dust, but also by stepping on it with your foot.
This is a place you definitely want to cover.
Let's introduce some recommended covers for each.
Product links are created based on Amazon, so they may not be available on Rakuten or Yahoo.
①: Key cover (keyboard cover)
This is a standard cover.
Upright pianos may come with a cover, but many digital pianos and keyboards do not.
Electronic pianos and upright pianos have lids, but these alone are not very effective.
When you close the lid when you are not playing, air containing dust gets inside the lid.
In other words, dust circulates inside the lid and falls onto the keyboard over time.
If you are good at sewing, you may want to buy fabric with your favorite pattern at a fabric store and try cutting it or reinforcing the edges.
If you find it troublesome, we recommend a key cover for your keyboard.
②:Body cover
Next is the main body cover.
Especially in the case of an upright piano, the top part is difficult to see, and you may find yourself covered in dust before you know it.
If you have a stylish cover that covers the whole thing, it would be perfect as an interior decoration or as a dust cover.
The size of the main body cover varies depending on the type of piano, so we will introduce the characteristic cover for each piano.

pedal cover
The last thing that is often overlooked is the pedal cover.
Since you step on it with your feet, it is easy to get scratched, and once scratched, it is difficult to repair, so we especially recommend installing a cover.
However, if the fabric is too thick, the feel of the foot will change.
When choosing one, choose one made of thin, yet sturdy fabric.
Even if you wear smaller socks, there is no problem. (lol)
lastly
Pianos are very expensive.
Minor stains can be easily cleaned and cleaned, but sometimes scratches and stains can become difficult to repair.
In order to use your precious piano for a long time, make sure to cover it properly, and above all, treat it with love .
If you use it with care, it will continue to be used by your children and grandchildren, and they will be able to use it for their hobbies.
