The heat is on which dries out the air in your house and makes the piano go flat. You can to keep the humidity constant by running a humidifier during this time of year. There is a special humidity control system that can be added to your piano that will control the humidity more closely.

Inside Indiana Business presented this information from Angie’s List:

Indianapolis-based Angie’s List Inc. (Nasdaq: ANGI) says for the seventh consecutive year, home warranty companies topped its list of the “Most Complained-About Companies.” Other “repeat offenders” include Internet service providers, property management companies and phone service providers. Consumers selected piano tuning for the least complained-about category.

Ron received the Angie’s List Super Service Award again this year. Only approximately 5% of service companies receive this award. Ron is proud to have received it and thanks those of you who contacted Angie’s List with reports. He said, “I am grateful to be in such a wonderful business with such a great group of customers. I hope I can continue to service pianos for many years to come.”

Are you looking to buy a new piano? I just finished doing some programming work for a new web site PianoBuyer.com which has a wealth of information about buying new pianos. There is a magazine that can be read online. Larry Fine has now taken the pricing data from his Piano Book Supplements and made it available online. My job was to create the searchable database. You can find prices for acoustic pianos in any price range and style. There are almost 3000 piano models listed in this database.

Now that the weather is hot and humid, many pianos have gone sharp. The humidity makes the soundboard swell and push up on the strings. Keeping your air conditioning on and the windows closed during this hot weather will help keep the humidity constant.

This is the beginning of this redesigned web site. This site includes a blog where I can put posts about current news or other information. I hope you find this site useful.
