Gardners
Musical Instruments in Cardiff, Wales
In 1948 a young 17-year-old Bob Gardner started an apprenticeship as a piano tuner and technician with the highly regarded firm of R. J. Heaths of Cardiff. Five years later, Bob struck out alone. He worked hard; and gradually gained a reputation as one of Cardiff's most respected piano tuners and repairers. Bob's eldest son Steve started his apprenticeship in Mickleburgs of Bristol in 1973. In 1975, due to Bob's increasing workload, he decided to continue his training under his father, together they opened a workshop in Moira Terrace, Cardiff, where a year later Jeff started his training too.

Piano Tuning
read moreYour piano, if looked after, is an asset; it will be with you for a very long time and should therefore be cared for. Piano tuning (or servicing) should be carried out at least twice a year; this will maintain the piano at concert pitch and in good order. The environment in which the piano lives will affect the piano greatly. For example, if there are fluctuations in temperature, hot in the day and cold in the evening you may find the piano tuning wandering. If possible try to maintain the temperature in which the piano lives.

Ask yourself who will be playing the piano? How accomplished the pianist or pianists are? How often will the piano be played? Will my children or I be learning? Pianos are as individual as people, each is suited to different people, some are suited to the young or mature beginner, the fun player or the professional pianist.
