Piano Tuning in Chiswick

Dalton Piano Services provides professional piano tuning, repairs, regulation and voicing in Chiswick and nearby parts of West London. Ian Dalton is a trained piano technician based in Richmond, working with upright and grand pianos in private homes, teaching spaces and studios.

Ian trained at the North Bennet Street School in Boston, one of the most respected piano technology programmes in the world. His work focuses on careful tuning, practical repairs and clear advice, with every visit carried out personally.

A standard tuning visit usually takes around 90 minutes. Regular tuning helps keep the piano stable, responsive and enjoyable to play. Most instruments benefit from tuning every six to twelve months, though pianos used heavily for teaching or practice may need attention more often.

If your piano has not been tuned for several years, it may need a pitch raise before fine tuning. Ian will assess the piano during the visit and explain what is needed before carrying out any extra work.

Many common piano problems can be improved during a tuning or service visit. These include sticking keys, sluggish pedals, buzzing notes, uneven touch, noisy action parts and small mechanical faults. More detailed regulation work can also be arranged where the piano needs a more even and controlled touch.

Voicing is available for pianos that sound too bright, harsh or uneven. By working with the hammer felt, the tone can often be made warmer, more balanced and more pleasant to play.

Ian serves Chiswick, Richmond, Kew, Hammersmith, Barnes, Putney and surrounding areas across West and South West London.
