Finding The Right Piano Accessories

There is a wide array of accessories that can be purchased along with your piano, and they range from items that are necessary such as a duet piano bench, artist piano bench, sheet music, metronomes, floor protectors, cleaning products etc., to purely aesthetic for example, decals, rims, posters, platforms, extenders and so on. When choosing accessories for your piano, there are many important factors to consider and some of the primary ones are quality, style and cost.

When dealing with musical accessories, the phrase "you get what you pay for" is very true, and the quality and styles will vary wildly along with the price. One of the first factors to consider is the type of piano you have, as this will allow you to quickly eschew any options that do not fit, whether they are necessary and complementary accessories.

If you have an upright or baby grand piano, then you may want to consider choosing an adjustable bench, especially if you are a tutor. Doing this you will ensure that your pupils will be able to be comfortable and avoid putting unnecessary strain on themselves and not being able to focus fully on your instruction. Style wise when it comes to a bench for a piano you will find yourself spoiled for choices, with the four legged, contemporary, modern, X-style, barstool and concerto models being just a few of the options you have to choose from at you discretion. Once you have settled on a style, you can choose between buying a prefinished piece and getting it finished to match your piano perfectly as it would not do if they did not match. Whether you decide to go for a perfectly matching look or a more postmodern style, quality is possibly the most important factor, as a cheap or poorly constructed bench will not only be unsightly, but may carry the risk of splinters or giving out entirely.

When choosing a sheet music cabinet, many of the previous rules of thumb can be applied. If the cabinet will be displayed prominently, it would be wise to choose a style that accompanies your piano. In addition to contemporary looks, you may opt to purchase one with a more elegant design. Another factor when choosing a sheet music cabinet is storage space. You would want to ensure that your cabinet has more than enough room to hold your sheet music and any other accessories, as keeping them in one location will reduce the chance of them being misplaced or damaged.

When choosing your cabinet, take care to either inquire as to what cleaning supplies are needed at the store. Perhaps you can check online beforehand so that you buy the right sort, as some will require polish, while others may need only a light dusting every now and then and using the wrong cleaning agents can damage the finish of your cabinet. By following these steps, you will find that you can make the task of choosing the perfect accessories for your personal taste for your piano a relatively simple task.
