Piano Tuning
Our precision tuning service maintains optimal pitch stability for all piano types. Using advanced calibration techniques, we ensure concert-grade accuracy at A=440Hz. Regular tuning prevents long-term damage from string tension imbalances, preserving your instrument's acoustic integrity and playability.
Piano Restoration
Specialist restoration preserves historical instruments while enhancing performance. We repair soundboards, replace pinblocks, and refinish cabinets using traditional methods. Our process maintains original character while ensuring modern playability standards for heirloom pianos.
Piano Regulation
Precision regulation optimises mechanical components for responsive touch. We adjust thousands of moving parts to eliminate sticking keys and uneven action. This service restores professional-grade playability for demanding musical passages and performance requirements.
Piano Repairs
Comprehensive repair service addresses mechanical wear and structural damage. From hammer re-pinning to damper repairs, we restore functionality using OEM parts. Our technicians diagnose issues affecting tone quality and playing response for all piano types.
Assessments
Detailed condition assessments identify maintenance needs and value preservation opportunities. We provide expert diagnostics for pre-purchase checks or restoration planning. Our reports include prioritised recommendations for sustaining instrument performance and heritage value.
Questions
Why should I have my piano tuned regularly?
Regular tuning maintains pitch stability and prevents structural damage from uneven string tension. Environmental factors cause pianos to go out of tune, affecting playability and longevity.
How often should my piano be tuned?
Household pianos need annual tuning. Heavily used instruments in churches or schools require bi-annual maintenance to maintain performance standards and prevent costly repairs.
What is piano regulation?
Regulation adjusts mechanical components for optimal performance. It addresses issues with key responsiveness, touch consistency, and mechanical efficiency through precise component adjustments.
When does a piano need restoration?
Restoration is recommended for heirloom instruments showing structural damage or significant wear. We assess soundboard condition, pinblock integrity, and mechanical functionality to determine restoration requirements.
Can all piano repairs be completed on-site?
Minor repairs like hammer re-pinning occur during tuning visits. Major work requiring parts replacement or specialised tools is completed in our workshop to ensure quality outcomes.

I've been using Mark for years since we moved to Belfast and every time he visits I can hear the difference in my piano reaching concert pitch again. He offers a very friendly, professional and reliable service and I always enjoy dealing with him. I'd highly recommend.
