Local, Reliable and Fully Trained

Piano Tuning in Kew

A standard tuning visit takes around 90 minutes and covers pitch correction to A440 concert standard. Most pianos benefit from tuning every six to twelve months. If your instrument hasn’t been tuned in several years, a pitch raise may be needed before fine tuning can be completed — Ian will advise you clearly during the visit.

Repairs and Regulation

Sticking keys, sluggish pedals, buzzing strings and rattling components are all common issues with a straightforward solution in many cases. Where minor adjustments are needed during a visit, Ian will let you know what’s involved. For more substantial work — such as regulation of the action or replacement of worn parts — a clear estimate will be provided before anything proceeds.

Regulation restores consistent key travel and touch across the keyboard. Over time, felt components compress and the action becomes uneven — regulation brings it back to how it should feel and respond.

Voicing

If your piano has become harsh, uneven or has changed in character, voicing may help. This involves adjusting the hammer felt to refine the tone across the keyboard — reducing brightness, adding warmth or improving consistency between registers. It’s often the difference between a piano that’s merely functional and one that’s genuinely enjoyable to play.

In addition to Kew, Ian regularly serves clients in Richmond, Twickenham, Barnes, East Sheen and surrounding areas. Appointments are also available for clients in Chiswick, Putney and further into West and South West London subject to scheduling.
