Putting it kindly, Colin is a strange fellow. We never did get to see if he could tune our piano... Good luck!

Easily the best piano tuning service I have ever had. I come from a family of musicians and music teachers. We take great care of our instruments, only hiring international movers with experience of working for symphony orchestras! This particular one of my pianos came from Singapore, went to Australia and then was shipped to the UK. Colin got it sounding totally different after his visit - a real pleasure to play. He gave me more tips about maintaining my pianos than anyone has in all the decades I've been playing and teaching. First class, would recommend.
