Piano Tuning in Richmond, Kew, and West London

Welcome to Dalton Piano Services


I’m Ian Dalton, a professionally trained piano technician (NBSS, Boston, USA). I now live in Richmond in West London.

I look after pianos for families, teachers, and musicians across Richmond, Kew, Chiswick, Twickenham, Barnes, and Sheen. My goal is simple: to bring out the best sound in your piano

I work on a wide range of instruments—from family uprights to performance grands—with attention to detail and care for each individual instrument.
