Piano tuning & services
show your piano some love!

Enjoy playing your piano even more when its tuned and serviced. A tuning will give you the best from your instrument even if it is not the best!

From the old family upright to the concert grand, a piano needs to be tuned regularly, with the occasional service to keep it in good working order and to extend it’s life.

We appreciate that not everyone has a great piano, and for you to be able to really enjoy playing is important to us.

Our customers understand the importance of keeping their piano well maintained, especially when investing in lessons.

Nothing puts a child off piano practice, like an out of tune piano or a sticky note.

Piano Tuning Services Available

Pitch Raise

This is a larger more involved tuning that raises the pitch of the piano, ideally to concert pitch if possible. If you want to play with other instruments, with CDs or YouTube, your piano has to be at the right pitch.

Please note, very old pianos may not be able to go to pitch. If your piano has not been regularly tuned, every 6 months it probably needs this extra work.

From £110

Standard tuning

First visit or for a piano that has not been tuned for over 2 years. Includes pitch correction and minor running repairs.

£90

Standard Fine Tuning

Ideal for those pianos that are regularly tuned and maintained at concert pitch already.

£80

Tuning with service

Extend the life of your piano.

For very old pianos, a piano you may have just bought or inherited, or perhaps just neglected for a while, why not give your piano some TLC and get it serviced at the same time.

All pianos need regular servicing and regulation as well as tuning to keep all the moving parts in good working order. Sticking keys, squeaking pedals and notes ringing on are all signs that your piano maybe overdue for a service. With a correctly regulated piano the tone and touch of the piano will be greatly improved.

You can book a half day full service or pay by the hour.

Tuning and short Service ( ideal for pianos that have not been tuned for 2 years or more ) From £130

Voicing- Is you piano sounding too bright or harsh?

Over time, regular playing can cause the felt on your piano’s hammers to harden from repeated string contact. This leads to a tone that can sound overly bright, glassy, or even unpleasantly sharp—far from the warm, mellow sound most pianists love.

You Deserve a Piano That Sounds Beautiful

You shouldn’t have to settle for a harsh tone. With expert voicing, we can restore your piano’s rich, warm character. A skilled technician will carefully work on the hammers, softening the felt and adjusting the tone to bring back that beautiful, expressive sound.

Please ask for a quote or more information.

  • "We were delighted to have housed The Piano Technology School at our base in Northampton, before their recent move to Rugby. During their residency they cared for all of the pianos in our teaching and rehearsal rooms, ensuring they were always ready for lessons, rehearsals and examinations …and they continue to do so now."

Schools, Music Teachers & Musical Organisations

We appreciate that funds can be tight for schools. Whether a primary or secondary academy or an independent school, you want to be able to offer your students well maintained instruments to practice on and ensure they are tuned for those important performances.

We offer discounts to all our school customers, the more pianos the bigger the discount. If you are a music teacher and you introduce a customer to us, we will give you £10 off your next tuning. We also offer commission on piano sales.
