Example of recent technical work

Lovely work by Ian Dalton: our 1930s Broadwood Grand hadn't had a proper overhaul in years, stiff keys, dampers not effective, pedals shaky, lots of felts missing from hammer action: inspection visit, estimate, revisit for a half-day's work sorting problem plus revoicing and it's sounding better than it's ever done! Many thanks! 💐

FAQ

How often should my piano be tuned?

Most pianos should be tuned every 6–12 months, depending on how often they’re played and changes in humidity.

What areas do you cover?

I work across Richmond, Kew, Chiswick, Twickenham, Barnes, Sheen, and the wider West London area.

How long does a tuning take?

A standard tuning usually takes about 90 minutes. If your piano needs extra attention, such as minor repairs or regulation, I’ll let you know during the visit.

Can you repair sticking keys or pedal problems?

Yes — small issues like sluggish keys, buzzing notes, or pedal adjustments can often be fixed on the spot.
