Our Services
Regular tuning is vital to your piano's health and longevity. It's recommended that pianos are tuned at least every six to twelve months to maintain optimal condition. A regular tuning will typically take around two hours. If your piano is more than 4hz flat at A4, or 20 cents flat overall, it may require a 'catch-up' tuning service. Pianos are always tuned to concert pitch (A440) in one sitting, where possible.
Also known as a 'pitch raise'. Pianos older than fifty years, and pianos that have not been tuned within the last four years may require extra time and attention. A follow-up standard tuning should be performed within the following six months. From that point, a regular tuning schedule of 6-12 months should be sufficient to maintain a healthy and stable piano.
Follow up Tuning -$175
A modest discount applies if your piano is tuned again within 6 months of your last appointment with us.
We are able to diagnose and remedy a variety of mechanical issues including:
Stiff keys
'Bouncing' or double-striking hammers
'Lazy' hammers/poor repetition
Loose pedals
Broken strings
If your piano has recently been moved, it's advised to wait at least six weeks before tuning or servicing. This will allow the piano time to 'aclimatise' to its new environment, and may resolve any initial issues with the piano-key action on its own. It will also prepare the piano for a more stable tuning.
Please be mindful to remove any picture frames or other valuables from the top of the piano, and the wall behind it (enough space for the top lid to be lifted).
Ideal climate conditions for a piano are between 40-60% humidity, and room temperature, 22 degrees give or take. Drastic fluctuations in climate are the main concern. Keeping windows, curtains, and blinds closed, and removing indoor plants can help to create a more stable climate.
We do not service digital keyboards or electric pianos. Hybrid pianos with strings and a silent playing function are acceptable.
