Trained to the Highest Standard

Ian trained at the North Bennet Street School in Boston — one of the world’s leading piano technology programmes — and has over five years of experience servicing pianos for private clients, music schools and studios.

Piano Tuning in Twickenham

A standard tuning visit covers pitch correction to A440 concert standard and typically takes around 90 minutes. Regular tuning every six to twelve months keeps your instrument stable and responsive. Pianos that have gone several years without attention may need a pitch raise first — Ian will assess this on arrival and explain what’s needed before any work begins.

Repairs and Regulation

Mechanical issues are common in pianos of all ages. Sticking keys, unresponsive pedals, buzzing strings and worn components can all affect playability and enjoyment. Where adjustments are needed, Ian will explain what’s involved and what it will cost before proceeding. For more involved work such as action regulation or parts replacement, a full estimate is provided in advance.

Regulation involves adjusting the mechanical action so that every key responds evenly and predictably. It’s particularly worthwhile for pianos that feel uneven across the keyboard or have become harder to control at quieter dynamics.

Voicing

Voicing adjusts the density of the hammer felt to shape the tone of your piano. If your instrument sounds harsh or bright, or if the tone varies noticeably across different parts of the keyboard, voicing can restore balance and make the piano more pleasant to play. It’s a specialist skill that makes a real difference to the character of an instrument.
