Piano Tuning
Our piano tuning service ensures your instrument maintains accurate pitch and optimal sound quality. We adjust string tension to achieve concert pitch standards while maintaining structural integrity. Regular tuning prevents long-term damage and preserves your piano's tonal characteristics.
Piano Repairs
We offer comprehensive repair services for mechanical components, keys, and internal mechanisms. Our hourly rate covers parts replacement and specialist repairs while maintaining your piano's original specifications. All work is discussed and agreed before commencement.
Pitch Raising
For neglected instruments, we perform pitch raising to restore standard tuning. This involves multiple tunings to stabilise string tension, addressing environmental damage and ensuring long-term stability for your piano's structure.
Regulation
Our regulation service optimises key action mechanisms for responsive performance. We adjust mechanical components to manufacturer specifications, ensuring consistent touch and improved playability across all registers of your piano.
Voicing
Voicing services enhance your piano's tonal quality through hammer adjustments. We modify hammer density and shape to achieve desired tonal characteristics while maintaining instrument integrity and preserving musical expression capabilities.
