Piano Tuning Sydney, NSW

The strings in your piano have little mass and will change relatively quickly. When they get warmer and expand the strings will loosen and the pitch drops. The frame of your piano is also affected by temperature changes, but the extra mass in the frame means it changes much slower than the strings. A modest discount applies if your piano is tuned again within 6 months of your last appointment with us. This proven method avoids repeated slipping, giving the piano both stability and a more accurate tone.

It is essential for a piano to be kept in a room not subject to extremes of either dampness or dryness, but in some houses or apartments this ideal situation is not easy to achieve. A de-humidifier where dampness prevails or a humidifier where the room in question is particularly dry is an essential addition to your piano. These piano tuner in eastwood devices are not cheap, but they are certainly worth investing in if you value your piano.

We provide tailored upright piano tuning to suit the instrument and the musician. Martin Tucker is a ‘piano doctor’, diagnosing glitches in everything from ancient uprights to baby grands. Australia was once home to the largest number of pianos in the world, but electric keyboards have taken over, and most pianos are destined for landfill. Seeking new clients, Martin heads north with a carload of spare keys, strings and other paraphernalia. Everyone he meets along the way, whether hospitable old-timers, isolated eccentrics or enthusiastic families, has a story to tell about their relationship with the piano. Over eight years, director Natalia Laska filmed her partner Martin, capturing  his obsession and dedication, and celebrating Australia’s love for this marvellous instrument and its music.
A pitch raise is the tuning process used to dramatically stretch the pitch of a piano when it’s notably “flat”. A piano that’s more than a quarter of a semi-tone (25cents) flat is usually considered to be too flat to achieve tuning stability with a single tune. In this situation we provide the service to bring the piano up to “concert pitch” with a pitch raise which would cost from an extra $70 on top of the standard piano tuning fee.

Pianos are full of timber and are affected by changes in temperature and more particularly, humidity.

Across the Bass Strait, the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra’s chief executive, Caroline Sharpen, says there is a single concert piano technician who services all of the concert instruments in Hobart. Unless new training facilities open up at the scale which allows young tuners to learn and come up the ranks as existing technicians retire, concert pianos and players across Australia will suffer, Kinney says.
