Piano Tuning
Our expert piano tuning ensures optimal sound quality and instrument longevity. Using precision tools, we adjust string tension to achieve perfect pitch. Regular tuning maintains stability, especially for pianos in performance venues or educational settings.
Restoration
We restore pianos to their original condition through meticulous refurbishment. Services include replacing worn parts, polishing casework, and repairing internal mechanisms. Our workshop handles complex overhauls for both antique and modern instruments.
Piano Moving
Safe piano relocation requires specialist equipment and expertise. We securely transport instruments of all sizes, minimising risk of damage. Pre-move assessments ensure smooth transitions for domestic and commercial clients.
System Installation
We install advanced systems like the Piano Life Saver (humidity control) and Silent Systems (digital practice features). These upgrades enhance functionality while preserving acoustic integrity for modern piano owners.
