Melbourne - Piano Tuning in Melbourne
Music School in Boroondara

Pianos are the feature of the previous era and are still a major industry today. Regardless of the price and acclaimed quality of your piano it is going to require regular tuning and servicing. The piano is an ‘item in flux’ and its reputation usually derives from the stability bestowed on its ‘tuned condition’ by the hardwoods and dexterity of construction of its wrest plank (pin block).
Piano tuning is an acquired art and most satisfactorily achieved by a practiced tuner adept in the art of establishing harmonic bliss via equal temperament and bringing the octaves into unison - the harmonic pitch of an octave.
Piano tuning is regularly required due to the fluctuating nature of temperature - causing expansion and contraction - and also due to the tremendous pull on each pin due to the intensity required to hold a string at its ideal tautness. The time that a string will remain at this ideal tension is what describes the ‘stability’ of a piano and from which pianos have traditionally derived their reputation.
The piano tuner is adept at applying the most ideal technique required for tuning the piano. As well as attending to the various string tensions the piano tuner/technician is also concerned with regulating the key board and piano action so as to achieve the most fluid and well balanced performance when being played by a dexterous pianist.
An experienced piano tuner will also clean the key-bed in an upright piano or the action cavity in the case of a grand piano; this is particularly necessary as the piano ages. A ‘tune and clean’ is a single package in our service whereby there is no extra charge for the cleaning: a ‘tune and clean’ costing $185-00.
Attention to the tuning of the piano is given priority among piano concerns while promptness and reliability characterize this well established and experienced service.
The reliable and trustworthy reputation of the piano tuner is endorsed by the 34 years experience behind this generous offer.
Older pianos will require much greater degree of attention than their modern Asin counterparts. The older European, American and English pianos, and Australian pianos are prone to serious deterioration of the key-bed felting which may well require replacement - if so - can be done dexterously at the time of tuning and cleaning Regulation may also be required in an older piano to take up and make up for the serious ware to piano felting from years of use. We can assist you in all aspects of your piano concerns.
