Now way way back when, back when I was a very young child, I use to go by my 
grandmothers house, and there sitting in all of its splendor was a huge grand piano. I’m sure my grandparents didn’t buy it new, they surely couldn’t afford a new one, but it definitely was a beautiful,fine,old and used piano.
grandmothers house, and there sitting in all of its splendor was a huge grand piano. I’m sure my grandparents didn’t buy it new, they surely couldn’t afford a new one, but it definitely was a beautiful,fine,old and used piano.
Back when he was younger my grandfather used to play piano in the saloons of Boston, around the early 20th century. But when I was young he was much older and no longer did that kind of work, but he still played. He would sit me on his lap and just crank away on that slightly used piano. It had a sound that was oh so pleasant on the ears. It is what made me pursue it in the future. I could actually "feel" the music as it flowed outward beneath our feet. He showed me that the top was hinged, and if you picked it up, it would get louder.
Some years later, when I was a teenager and had just moved into a new home, I was pleasantly surprised when I learned that there was a used piano in the basement. Many a
time I would go down there and play for hours, just practicing, and playing.
As I grew older, and got married, it was a must to have a piano in the home. I prefer a used one as it has a feeling of already been broken in. I taught my son to play on that piano, and he is now a professional musician, among his other endeavors. So for me, I love the look and feel of the used piano, over a new one. For me, it seems to be the best economical choice, and it is a choice that will stay with you forever, and believe me, you’ll never regret it.

Piano Tuning Atlanta And Weather Changes
Keeping your piano sounding its best requires you to constantly keep up after a number of variables. You need to make sure that all the piano strings are functional and working their best, to get the best sound from your piano you need to make sure the acoustics of the room are functional and as ideal as possible, and of course you need to be sure that your piano remains in sharp tune. But how do you keep your instrument in tune with any degree of success? What do you do about piano tuning in Atlanta when your instrument is exposed to generally mild weather?
Piano Tuning Atlanta – Move In: If you’re relocating to Atlanta and you are moving in your piano you should get the instrument looked at in the first couple of weeks. Even if you just got the instrument tuned, doing so right after moving is necessary to keep your piano in sync with the environment.
Stationary: Keeping your piano in tune when it is not moving from a climate controlled space may be the easiest way to keep your piano in tune. You should tune your piano twice a year as long as humid air isn’t crashing your parade.
Humidity: Sharp changes in the air quality is one of the principal reasons for pianos to go out of tune. Blame the humidity. Because piano strings are mounted on a wooden soundboard, moisture is absorbed into the wood when the humidity comes in. When humidity goes away and the weather gets drier; the soundboard shrinks. When this stretching and shrinking happens, the tension of the piano strings is tightened and relaxed and the piano will change pitch; going out of tune.
Solution: One sure way to keep your instrument in tune and unaffected by weather is to keep it indoors in a climate controlled environment. That may not be the answer you are looking to hear but because of Atlanta’s mild temperatures, it is far more likely to require regular attention if you keep it inside of a room in your home. Another solution is to build an air tight studio in a basement so that it could be “less” affected by humidity and temperature.

Piano Rental For Children Learning
Providing music education for a child is important and can improve success in school as well as in life. Music is a large
part of many cultures including those found in the United States and it has a great effect on how disciplined a student is not only in the subject of music but across the board. Colleges also look at extra-curricular activities and playing an instrument as well as appreciating the arts is a contributing factor when it comes to being accepted into a program. Teaching music in the form of learning to read music and play the piano can help shape a child’s individuality and character. When beginning the process of learning to play the piano it’s sometimes a good idea to look into piano rental rather than jump into purchasing one.
Music and piano specialty stores typically have rental plans that allow you to lock into a set price that you pay each month. Sometimes there is an additional drop off and pickup fee. Choosing to rent a piano on a monthly basis is beneficial if learning the piano is something a child is going to try out. Interests change and if the lessons end and the motivation isn’t there any longer, you won’t be stuck with a piano that isn’t being used and you won’t have wasted a large sum of money on the initial investment.
There are many different types of pianos on the market. If the one you are currently renting isn’t what you’re looking for 
you can try another type. If the interest continues and it looks like making the investment to purchase a piano is a wise choice you will have an idea of what style you would want to choose. There are grand pianos, player pianos and even more modern digital pianos. A piano can last for a lifetime and be passed on from generation to generation. It’s important to pick the piano that is right for your home.
Piano rental is something that can last as long or as little as you would like. Not only will you save money on a big investment but you will also have money leftover to pay for private piano lessons. You can contact Cooper Music to help build a better world through music education right inside your own home.

Buying a piano represents a major capital investment. These are hand-crafted instruments 
made out of high quality, natural materials including wood, felt, cloth and metal. Pianos require precision tuning and calibration and ongoing care to keep them sounding their best. And so the price tag of a new piano usually reflects this craftsmanship.
Not everyone who wants the joy of owing a piano can afford a brand new instrument but you may feel wary about buying a used piano. Instead of letting go of your dreams of having a piano in your home, choose to buy a used piano from a respected dealer or have the piano inspected by a quality piano technician.

Steinway Grand Piano
When I was eight, we moved into a new house, acquired a Steinway Grand Piano and two horses all in the same year. That year I learned that horses and pianos have souls. You have to get to know them. You have to treat them with respect. My parents, like 
most, were trying to give their kids "the good life." Some of that simply meant keeping up with the Jones’, but some of it meant we were exposed to all kinds of good in the process. Music is good life.
most, were trying to give their kids "the good life." Some of that simply meant keeping up with the Jones’, but some of it meant we were exposed to all kinds of good in the process. Music is good life.
A Steinway Grand Piano is an investment in music. My sister and I both took lessons but as circumstances would have it, she really mastered the piano and I didn’t. The fact that I don’t really play is okay. I know that late at night, alone in the house, she fills it with music and thus becomes not really alone. The fact that I grew up with a piano means that I know there are ways to access one’s joy. I have found other ways to access mine, but the piano first gave me the experience of creating something beautiful and being transported in the process.
People who play say that choosing a piano is a very individual decision. They have to play the piano and listen to its particular sound. They have to see if the keys respond to their particular touch. It is the beginning of a relationship, choosing a piano and it shouldn’t be done lightly.
Most of us have to factor in the sheer cost of a Steinway Grand Piano. Many of us can’t afford one, but given the chance, in a perfect world, who wouldn’t own one? Things don’t generally make people happy, but creating beauty does so perhaps that piano is a better investment than one might think. It certainly did the trick in my family.
