Pianos for People
From the late 18th century, when the piano began to supplant the harpsichord as the world’s chief keyboard instrument, it’s been a fixture in many places. People had a piano in the parlor; churches had one in the basement for choir practice, and every school auditorium had one. Pianos even graced the stages of silent movie theaters during the early 20th century.
In the 21st century, as electronic instruments become more popular as less expensive options than traditional pianos, wood-and-wire keyboards are finding their way into landfills and junk heaps. Non-profit organization Pianos for People doesn’t want these pianos uselessly deteriorating when others could benefit from them. Their mission is to restore and recondition these instruments to working order and then deliver them, free of charge, to needy and deserving families and groups.
There are many people who simply cannot afford a keyboard instrument of any type. While a suburban family might only need a simple spinet for their children’s piano lessons, a school might dream of a 9-foot grand for its stage. One of Pianos for People’s main sponsors, Jackson Pianos LLC, has many instruments in its shop. It has found, rebuilt and saved Steinways, Chickerings, Baldwins, Kimballs and many other brands.
The project’s genesis stemmed from an advertising executive, Tom Townsend, who lost his son in a tragic accident. Father and son had shared a love of music, and both played the piano. As a tribute to his late son, Townsend approached Joe Jackson of Jackson Pianos LLC and presented the idea of providing unused or discarded pianos to the needy. Jackson was instantly interested, and Pianos for People was born. They brought prominent St. Louis piano teacher Patricia Eastman on board, and, together, they bring music into people’s lives.
All three of them smile when remembering the happiness of the recipients, many of whom jump up and down with delight. Others are simply speechless, but they are all extremely grateful for the gift. Townsend remarked that lonely pianos sitting in out-of-the-way places yearned to be played. He shares the joy of music with each person to whom Pianos for People delivers a freshly reconditioned and well-tuned instrument.

鋼琴保養須知
您可能因為忙、沒空、很少彈了、保養太貴了、還很好不用保養、暫時不用調音，要時再連絡......等等的因素，延誤了您對自己鋼琴的關心，而影響整台琴的壽命。 您可知一台保養良好的鋼琴，壽命可長達百年之久，但是一台不經保養的鋼琴，往往在短短幾年的時間裏，就已損壞不堪而難以修復。
調音、調色、調整、調修四項性質與收費全不相同，建議您定期保養您的愛琴， 分散小錢保險，以避免花大錢繳修理費，把您辛苦賺的錢竟用在明知的錯誤上。
＜鋼琴保養須知＞
- 鋼琴放置
- 避免放在容易發出濕氣的地點 (像浴室、廚房) 附近。
- 避免放置窗戶邊，常受陽光照射或濕氣侵入。如果不能避免，應使用窗簾避免日光直射琴身。
- 請避開放置於於外圍牆壁，因外圍牆壁常年不斷受外氣影響，溫差、濕度急遽著在變化，對鋼琴內部容易產生不良狀況。
- 放置內牆，鋼琴與牆壁間，距離牆壁大約 10~15cm 較為恰當。 第一可讓鋼琴聲音擴散出來，第二可保持鋼琴四周通風流暢。
- 琴房中如裝有冷氣機，冷風最好不要對著鋼琴；如裝有暖氣機，請勿過於靠近而過度乾燥。
溫度最好不要突然加得太熱，以避免忽冷忽熱形成水氣，造成琴弦容易生鏽音色變混濁。
室內最好保持在溫度15℃~25℃、 濕度50℃~70℃之間，對於鋼琴是最好的狀態。 - 鋼琴不要放在不通風、潮濕的地方。木製樂器會吸取空氣中的水份，除了會膨脹、
彎曲、變形外，也容易受變色菌、腐朽菌或昆蟲的蛀蝕而腐朽。
- 平時保養
- 鋼琴表面打亮時，最好不要用膏狀的臘膏，以避免滑入鍵盤空隙裡，造成阻塞不靈活。
- 附著於鋼琴表面的灰塵，請用鋼琴專用毛刷輕輕拍拂除去，切勿用水或酒精、溶劑，也不要用粗硬的毛氈或抹布擦拭，以避免刮傷表面。至於內部的擦拭清潔，切勿自己隨意動手。
- 鋼琴上切勿擺放過重的物品、有水之花瓶、尖銳的東西、茶水、飲料等，以避免傷及表面或產生污漬，或不慎流入鋼琴內部導致鋼琴嚴重損壞。
- 不要玩弄打擊系統或琴線，以避免造成鬆動及音律不準。
- 除了表面清潔、避免撞擊、小孩不正當玩弄之外，內部保養才是最重要的。
- 鋼琴因內部琴線張力疲乏導致音律不準確，彈奏時便有不協調的感覺，
所以每經過一段時間後，都需要請調音師來調音，或每發覺有異樣時都得做此處理。 - 注意溫濕度急變，務必在鋼琴內放置乾燥劑或電乾燥棒自動調節之乾燥器，鋼琴外放置家庭式除濕機，裡應外合，以延長使用壽命，使音質保持在最佳狀態。
- 儘可能少用大琴套，如習慣使用，請時常注意是否保持乾燥。
- 為防止蟲害，請在鋼琴內放置除蟲丸。
- 彈奏前請將雙手洗淨，於彈奏後請用棉織類軟布擦拭殘留在鍵盤上的汗水或雜質,最好每日都擦拭一次，可保持鍵盤清潔又美觀。切勿用水或酒精、溶劑類擦拭。
- 定期調音保養
- 這項措施是保養鋼琴的不二法門。
為了使鋼琴一直都能彈奏出正確的音高， 每年起碼需調音兩次，同時將鋼琴的整個狀況，做仔細的檢查。因為調整觸鍵與音色，使其處在最佳狀況中彈奏，在平台型鋼琴顯得特別重要。
