Feedback – (Arthur is always pleased to receive feedback) – 

18/10/23 “I just wanted to send you a message to thank you. I really did think that our piano was beyond hope and was pleasantly surprised that you were able to improve the tuning for us yesterday. I look forward to seeing you again next year.”

20/11/22 “Dear Arthur, Please have this feedback for your amazing services! You spent a long thorough time on our beloved piano. As soon as you left I played Gymnopedie no1 a favourite piece and the piano sounded fantastic! Thank you so much for your very professional service and if you are available again in 6 months I will request a return visit. Thankyou again!
You are amazingly talented. And the cats fully approve of the tuned piano!”

27/08/22 “Just a line to thank you for doing a great job on our piano on Wednesday. It sounds really great with a brilliance which it has lacked for a little while. I am very pleased at the result .. thank you”

21/02/22 “Thanks for your work on the piano- it’s sounding really beautiful, especially after this second tuning!”

07/02/22 “Arthur came to tune our piano which was sounding pretty dreadful. He did a marvellous job and it is a pleasure to listen to now. He was prompt and polite and I would thoroughly recommend using his service.”

28/09/21 “Arthur recently tuned my piano that was badly out of tune as I bought it second hand and it had not been tuned for some while. I’d like to say that Arthur is a true professional and it was a pleasure to meet him. He has a really pleasant nature and is totally trustworthy.
His attention to detail it excellent and nothing is too much trouble for him.
The piano has now sprung back to life and I would have no hesitation in using him again and recommending him to anyone who needs their piano tuning.”

11/09/20 “Many thanks for your painstaking work on our 1960s piano today, which hadn’t been tuned for a number of years. You are clearly a perfectionist, and it is now a pleasure to play!”

05/06/20 “Arthur thank you so much for your work on our piano this afternoon – we are really happy with it”

29/06/2019 “Thank you so much for your hard work today. …. I have enjoyed playing what sounds like a new piano! Thanks again and best wishes”

17/10/2018  “My dear Arthur, A brief note to say how much I appreciate your fine work, you are a master craftsman and no mistake….. I  immediately tried one of my favourite pieces  “AS TIME GOES BY ” from the 1931 film Casablanca and I was delighted. Many thanks, …”

Arthur can come to tune your piano in this area…

Shropshire

Shrewsbury, Telford, Market Drayton, Wem, Ellesmere, Oswestry, Church Stretton, Newport, Much Wenlock


Old Piano?   Pianos made before about 1950 can be good to look at, but very difficult to tune and impossible to keep in tune. Often they will go out of tune during the tuning process, or the next day, or within a few days. Pianos built before 1950 might be “Untunable”.

If your piano is Untunable then Arthur will charge a £25 fee to cover his expenses.

Old pianos which go out of tune within a few hours, days or weeks are a problem to all piano tuners. Such pianos are tuned to the highest level possible at the time of tuning but cannot be guaranteed to hold their pitch and will need re-tuning every few months.

Piano not been tuned for more than 2 years?   Pianos should be tuned every 6 months to maintain them in optimum health. Also, when regularly used, a piano which is out of tune will spoil the player’s sense of pitch. If your piano has not been tuned for more than 2 years then it will need two tunings, a few weeks apart, to bring it up to pitch.


Tuning Fee – £70              (A surcharge will be added If outside the 30 mile radius – please email for quote).
Untunable piano fee – £25
