Welcome to LivingPianos.com, I'm Robert Estrin. The topic today is about why your piano is not protected. What do I mean by that? I've made many videos telling you how to care for your piano with a proper environment: having a Dampp-Chaser or Piano Life Saver system, a humidifier or a dehumidifier, protecting it from the sun, and servicing it on a regular basis. But I'm not talking about any of that today. Today I'm talking about insurance. You may think your piano is insured, but it very well may not be.
