Piano Tuning and Repair

Modern piano tuning and repair in Swindon, Bath, Chippenham, Malmesbury and part of Oxfordshire.
Uprights and grands, no matter how old or new your piano is, I can service it.
A piano is designed to be tuned to A440 hertz (called concert pitch), so I always tuned to this standard, unless the strings are too old and rusty, for which I will assess and propose a lower pitch to avoid breakages. I look after a number of pianos in museums, private collections and tune for concerts, festivals and films. Apart from music, I have studies in physics and engineering that enables me to provide qualified advice. I have received training at Bechstein's factory, in Germany.
Please enquiry for your type of piano and area for a friendly quote. Older pianos could be more challenging and a bit more expensive to tune but normally a tuning in my area is £120, and will include small adjustments and repairs like a sticky key or a detached ivory.
