Piano Tuning & Repair London
We don't just move pianos; we know how they work.
As London's leading piano movers, we work daily with the city's finest concert venues, schools, and private collectors. We have curated a network of world-class independent tuners and technicians to ensure your instrument gets the specialist care it deserves.
Concert Pitch Tuning
Standard fine-tuning to A440 Concert Pitch. Essential for every piano at least once a year. Our partners tune both Upright and Grand pianos for homes, studios, and concert halls.
Action Regulation
A piano has thousands of moving parts. If your keys stick or feel uneven, our trusted technicians can adjust the mechanical "action" to restore a responsive, professional touch.
Pitch Raise Correction
Has your piano been neglected for years? It may need a "Pitch Raise." This is a specialist two-stage tuning process to safely bring the string tension back up to standard pitch.
Why Use Our Partner Network?
Searching for a "piano tuner near me" can be risky. A piano is a delicate ecosystem of wood, felt, and steel. An inexperienced tuner can damage the tuning pins or break strings.

The Science of Piano Maintenance
A piano is not just a piece of furniture; it is a machine under 20 tons of string tension. Even if you do not play it often, it goes out of tune due to environmental factors.
1. Humidity & Temperature
Wood swells in summer (high humidity) and shrinks in winter (central heating). This movement causes the soundboard to expand and contract, pulling the strings out of tune. We recommend tuning your piano every 6 months to match these seasonal changes.
2. Post-Move Tuning
Moving a piano changes its environment. The difference in humidity between your old home and your new home will cause the wood to settle. We generally recommend waiting 2-3 weeks after a move before booking a tuner, allowing the instrument to acclimatize.
Frequently Asked Questions
My piano hasn't been tuned in 10 years. Is it ruined?
Likely not! Pianos are resilient. However, it will require a "Pitch Raise" (pre-tuning) before a fine tuning. Our partners can assess the structural integrity of the bridge and tuning pins before starting work.
Do you fix sticking keys?
Yes. Sticking keys are usually caused by swollen felt bushings or moisture. This is a standard repair for our partner technicians.
