Exceptional piano tuning service - highly skilled and thorough
Steve provided exceptional service tuning my 66-year-old Kemble Minx Miniature piano. His work was thorough and meticulous, and he took the time to explain the process along the way. Even as a beginner, I could immediately hear the dramatic improvement in sound quality. And what a bonus to hear him play when testing the piano! Steve is clearly very knowledgeable and skilled at his craft. I'll definitely be calling him for future tunings.

See you next year. Blessings

Steve tuned 2 pianos for me today . He worked tirelessly on the old piano and restored it to a 'happy' sound and it's lovely to hear the newer piano playing at its best. Excellent service.

Fantastic piano tuning for my lovely old upright Steck. Steve even cleaned my old ivory keys looking new again. Highly recommend friendly courteous and professional service.

A piano should be ideally tuned every 6 months. This way the piano is kept nicely at A440 (concert pitch), the correct pitch for a piano. This also assures you of the best possible tone for your piano. The tuner is also able to regularly check the instrument for any signs of problems and rectify them straight away, keeping the piano in top condition and saving you money on a possibly larger repair in future. Feel free to call us for piano tuning, repairs and other services.

Keyboard servicing
Are your keys sticking? It’s so annoying isn’t it? But how does it happen?

Humidity is the piano’s nemesis. It causes the felt in a piano to swell and the metallic parts to corrode. The felt in the keyboard is particularly susceptible to moisture and the result of swollen felt is that the keys stick to their corroded guide pins.

A keyboard service will eradicate this problem. Any particularly problematic keys are eased by reducing the thickness of the swollen felt. All of the keys are then carefully removed from the piano and the key bed is vacuumed of the debris that accumulates over the years. You would be surprised at what we find in there sometimes. The guide pins are burnished and then polished smooth. They are then lubricated with dry Teflon. The key felts are also lubricated with powdered Teflon making their reciprocating motion far smoother. This not only eliminates sticking but also makes the instrument so much nicer to play.

A keyboard service for grands is somewhat more involved. The aim is the same; the price can be discussed at the time of tuning as it is dependant on the individual piano.

Thank you Steve, it was such a wonderful, warm customer experience when you came to tune our piano recently - not to mention your expertise and knowledge which is second to none. It was a lovely moment when you played the piano when it was tuned. Thank you again. I wholeheartedly recommend your pian...
