How often should a piano be tuned?
All pianos should be tuned regularly, usually twice a year is normal for a domestic piano that is played frequently.
What affects tuning
Temperature and humidity fluctuations as well as playing frequency are the 3 main factors that affect tuning stability…
Temperature
Pianos placed near heat sources or in direct sunlight are constantly expanding or contracting and never settle.
Humidity
If the piano is in an area where there is cooking, clothes washing or clothes drying etc., then this will also unsettle the instruments delicate balance.
Playing
The more its played and the harder its played, the more it will need tuning. Professionals will have their pianos tuned every 3-4 months and concert pianos are tuned for every performance.
Pricing
Tuning starting from just £85.00
During our tuning visit we often carry out minor mechanical repairs too, such as squeaky pedals or a few sticking notes. If it’s been a long time since your piano was last maintained extra work may be required to bring it back to its best. If the extra repairs and adjustments can be done without adding too much time to our visit we usually don’t charge any extra but if it is necessary, complicated repairs or restoration will be quoted for separately.

We have over 44 years experience in the restoration and repair of pianos. Working on pianos of all ages, shapes and sizes.
This experience has not disappeared just because we no longer work from the old workshop. We are always keen to advise and guide players towards the best piano for their budget
