Piano Services

 
 
Piano Tuning

We offer a piano tuning service, the work being carried out by our tuners/technicians of many years experience. Being agents for Steinway & Sons we have to maintain a very high standard of technical work and are fortunate to have some very talented tuners.

William Morris trained at Newark and has worked for Steinway & Sons in London tuning for all of the major concert venues.

Clive Wallace qualified from Newark and has many years experience he is a very good, versatile technician.

Marcel Kunkel qualified from Newark and has concentrated on servicing. He has been one of the few to work with Ulrich Gerhartz (Concert & Artist technician from Steinway Hall in London) he is an expert in voicing and toning.

Iain Kilpatrick trained at Newark-On-Trent and is now the external examiner for the final year exams, he also won the Bluthner Tuning Cup and the David Marks national tuning competition.

Our staff are responsible for the preperation and tuning of the instruments in virtually all of the significant concert venues in Cambridge including the Cambridge Corn Exchange, the West Road Concert Hall, Cambridge Arts Theatre and the majority of the Cambridge Colleges (Kings, Trinity, St John's, Gonville & Caius, Clare, St Catherine's, Corpus Christi, Emmanuel, Girton, Kings School Cambridge, Kings School Ely, St John's School Cambridge and many more).

For home visits we operate a tuning reminder system.

 

Piano Restoration


Our superbly equipped workshop is staffed by a small but select team of highly skilled craftsmen. The work is focused mainly on the restoration of high quality grand pianos, particularly specialising in those made by Steinway & Sons. Another function of the workshop is to provide a technical reinforcement and back up service for the tuners / technicians on the road. When a job is too lengthy or complex to carry out on a half day visit or if parts need to be specially made, then the workshop is on hand to take over. However large or small the task, the emphasis is on our attention to detail.

 

Piano Removal

We are very fortunate to have a highly skilled moving team with many years of experience. Thay are well practiced in the most difficult situations for example those encountered in the very old buildings of Cambridge colleges. Wherever or whatever your piano moving requirements, please contact us to discuss them.
Music Practice Room
The studio is available for hire and suitable for a number of uses. 20' x 10' in size and virtually sound proof it houses a grand piano, currently a Boston 156. It is used extensively for examination purposes, particularly the A.B.R.S.M. It can be used for practice or recording purposes and is available on an hourly rate basis. Please call the shop for further information.
