Fine Tune + Check-up

A 6-12 month fine tune check-up.

The bread-and-butter of the piano tech’s work. Tuning refers to using a tuning lever to change the tension of each of the 240 strings so that they perfectly sing at the right pitch - it’s as much an art as a science! A piano played regularly usally requires a tuning every 6-months. A piano used only occasionally should be tuned at least every 12 months.

To use this service, the piano must have been tuned within the last 12 months.

Seasonal Service + Tuning

12-24 month service.

Inside the piano are around 12,000 parts, and every one must be working well for the piano to play well - regular servicing is essential. For example: the keyboard and action (the bit inside with the hammers) must be regularly cleaned, lubricated and adjusted. This makes the piano easier to play and gifts the pianist greater dynamic range. You will notice the difference afterwards!

Pitch Adjustment + Service + Fine Tune

Piano sounding a little flat, notes sounding all over the place? A pitch adjustment is needed.

Pianos are continuously losing tension in their strings. Pianos that have not been tuned in a while will sound flat, or just bad - the tension must be added back through a pitch adjustment. This requires two “passes” over all 240 strings - a “rough” tune to add the tension, followed by a “fine” tune.

Deep Clean + Service + Pitch Adjustment + Fine Tune

For pianos that need a little more to get going again.

Pianos that have not had a visit from a piano technician for a while may have suffered from high or low humidity, have broken parts - they will need a longer appointment to receive some additional TLC.

A deep clean is essential, pianos collect a lot of dirt (moths and their eggs, rodents, dust, mould, etc.). This is followed by a full service, pitch adjustment and tuning, You will also receive a condition report if any further work is required.
