Tuning
Having your acoustic piano regularly tuned and maintained is essential to the longevity of your instrument’s life. Here at Thompson Pianos we recommend you have your piano tuned every 6 months if you’re using it for domestic playing and every 3 months for schools, universities and piano teachers.
Our tuners are fully qualified and have graduated from the Piano Technology School and Royal National College respectively. With visiting many different homes and venues across the Midlands, our tuners are fully insured via third party liability insurance and have been DBS checked.
Get your pride and joy carefully maintained by Thompson Pianos and be safe in the knowledge that your instrument is being looked after in the correct way. Contact us today on 07554 381 801 or email us at info@thompsonpianos.co.uk to book your tuning.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to tune my piano?
The basic charge for tuning is £70.00 depending on location. If your piano is down in pitch and requires a pitch raise, then we charge around £80.00 because a pitch raise requires our tuners to go through the tuning more than once.
What areas do you cover for tunings?
We cover the following areas: Worcestershire, Herefordshire, Warwickshire, Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Shropshire and all other surrounding towns and villages across the heart of the Midlands.
Do you just tune pianos, what if I have a fault that needs fixing?
Here at Thompson Pianos we don’t just tune pianos; we cover all areas of acoustic piano maintenance ensuring your piano is kept performing at its maximum potential. Some of the repairs and maintenance we cover are as follows: Key levelling, hammer repair/reface, broken strings, regulation to improve responsiveness of touch and voicing/ toning. If your piano is suffering from a fault and you’re not sure of the issue, please get in contact with us today via 07554 381 801 or email us at info@thompsonpianos.co.uk
How long will my piano take to tune?
Tuning your piano varies in time, for example, a standard tuning is around 1 – 1.5 hours, however, if your piano requires a pitch raise this can take up to around 2 hours.
Our tuners here at Thompson Pianos will give you a time slot so that you’re not having to wait in all day if you’re busy with other engagements.
