    Piano Tuning

    Many factors cause pianos to go out of tune, particularly humidity changes. High humidity causes the sound board to swell, stretching the strings and causing the pitch to go sharp, while low humidity causes pitch to go flat. In newer pianos the strings gradually stretch and wooden parts shrink, causing the piano to go flat, while in older pianos the tuning pins might become loose and not hold the piano in tune very well. For these reasons, many piano manufacturers recommend that brand new pianos be tuned four times by professional piano tuner during the first year and twice a year thereafter. For other pianos that is not brand new, a minimum yearly tuning is highly recommended. We don’t just tune your piano, we also check the overall wellbeing of your piano and fix any small problem while tuning your piano if we can. If any problem identified during the service cannot be fixed we will provide you options to address those issues.

    Piano Voicing and Action Regulatioin

    If your piano doesn’t sound the way you like, we can help you by providing a quick piano voicing service. The most common issue with piano’s tonal quality is it sounds too harsh or too loud. This is because the hammer felt density is too high which makes the hammer too hard. We can soften the hammer and balance the tone across different sections to make your piano sound warmer. Other things we can do to improve your piano’s sound is by reshaping worn out hammer heads. This is normally applied to very worn out hammer felt with deep grooves. We can reshape the hammer head and bring back the original shape so the hammers can strike strings evenly. If you feel the touch of your piano is too heavy or too light, we can also help you regulate all parts of actions including key depth, hammer actions assembly and make your piano more enjoyable to play.

How much does it cost to tune a piano in Sydney?

It depends on how often your piano has been maintained and the conditions of your piano. Regularly tuned piano in general is in much better shape than pianos that haven’t been serviced for years, therefore it means less effort to service and the cost of tuning such piano is lower. In Sydney and surrounding regions, the cost of tuning a piano range from $150 to $350. The most common price people pay for a yearly tunings service is about $200 to $250.  A lot of piano tuners will charge from $300 for tuning an old antique piano. That is because many of those old pianos were not regularly serviced. As a result the conditions of those pianos are poor. Tuning them require extra efforts and time.
