Services
Piano Tuning
Regular piano tuning maintains optimal A440 pitch alignment with other instruments. We recommend biannual maintenance even for infrequently played pianos. Neglected instruments may require pitch restoration involving specialist techniques. Our tunings include assessment of mechanical components' wear and environmental impacts on instrument stability.
Repairs
We provide on-site repairs for minor issues and workshop restoration for extensive work. Services cover mechanical servicing, pitch adjustments, and component replacements. Our technicians address both structural integrity and acoustic performance. Off-site repairs utilise specialist workshop equipment for comprehensive restoration projects.
Piano Sales
Our inventory includes carefully selected pianos suitable for all skill levels from beginners to professionals. Each instrument receives technical assessment before sale. We offer guidance on space requirements, acoustic properties, and budget considerations. Purchase advice focuses on long-term value and individual playing needs.
Piano Stool Sales
We supply various piano stools including adjustable, hydraulic, and concert models. Our selection combines ergonomic support with aesthetic appeal. Stools are available in multiple designs to complement different piano styles. Each option provides appropriate height adjustment for comfortable playing posture.
Piano Maintenance Advice
Professional advice covers environmental considerations, regular servicing schedules, and playing technique impacts. We explain humidity control requirements and mechanical wear patterns. Clients receive tailored guidance on maintaining instrument value and performance quality over time.

Shaun is lovely! He has been looking after our upright for a few years now after a friend recommended him. He also looks after the grand piano at church which is a beautiful instrument!
