If you’re looking for a professional piano tuner in Teddington, Dalton Piano Services offers expert tuning, repairs, regulation and voicing for upright and grand pianos. Based nearby in Richmond, Ian Dalton provides a reliable, personal service across Teddington and surrounding areas.
Ian trained at the North Bennet Street School in Boston, one of the world’s leading piano technology programmes, and has experience servicing pianos for private homes, teachers, schools and studios. Every visit is carried out personally by Ian, with clear advice and no subcontracting.
A standard tuning visit usually takes around 90 minutes and brings the piano back to a stable, musical pitch. Most pianos benefit from tuning every six to twelve months, especially in homes where temperature and humidity change through the year. If the piano has not been tuned for a long time, a pitch raise may be needed before fine tuning can be completed.
Minor repairs can often be dealt with during a tuning visit. Common issues include sticking keys, sluggish pedals, buzzing notes, uneven touch and small action problems. For more involved work, such as regulation or replacement of worn parts, Ian will explain what is needed and provide a clear estimate before proceeding.
Regulation adjusts the mechanical action of the piano so the keys respond evenly and predictably. Voicing can also help if the tone has become too bright, harsh or uneven across the keyboard.
Ian regularly works in Richmond, Kew, Twickenham, Teddington, Hampton, Barnes and surrounding parts of West and South West London.
