Piano
Tuning
All pianos should be pitched
at A = 440 , and I aim to achieve this with all of my tunings, however
sometimes due to the age of the piano or neglect, it may not be
possible, I will always discuss this with the owner before proceeding.
|
The
majority of my customers have there pianos tuned every
6 months, some annually, but many Music Teachers prefer
3 or 4 tunings per year.
I operate
a very efficient reminder service for tunings. Customers
are sent a repeat tuning card giving a date and time when
I will call, many are now receiving this service by email
and I would expect this method to become increasingly
popular.
My
Tuning Area
I
cover all of Denbighshire, Flintshire, Conwy and the City
of Bangor.

Piano
Sales
Occasionally
I do have some pianos for sale, or I will know of a customer with
one that I can recommend.
Any piano that I sell will always come with a full guarantee, and
the price will also include delivery and a tuning.
A phone call or
email will determine what I have in stock.
