Services
My interest in music dates from childhood, singing in the local church choir with my family, leading to an interest in church organs and keyboard instruments in general. Steinway & Sons was the biggest name I knew in pianos, so I got my dad to give them a ring.
At Steinway, I learnt piano design and restoration, tuning and voicing, while studying for my City and Guilds in Musical Instrument Technology at London College of Furniture - now the London Metropolitan University.In the last 25 years I've run Tim Hendy Pianos Ltd, serving the wider musical community with pride.

Achieving the best possible tuning depends on a number of factors, which should be discussed before the job is booked. All being well, I'll be knocking on your door a few days later.

I offer first-class piano maintenance and repair services for grand and upright pianos. All work meets the highest quality standards, whether the instruments are for professional, amateur or home use. Piano reconditioning and restoration work is performed at my workshop in southwest London for clients in London, Surrey, the South East, and worldwide.
In this short informal video I perform a crucial sound check on a Stroud baby grand piano undergoing complete restoration. This provides me with a baseline for tuning and regulation. In this video I show how the modern upright piano action works.
Using a full scale model, I demonstrate the piano mechanism including actions of key, hammer, damper, damper rest rail, balance hammer, check, lever and jack, concluding with concise recommendations for piano maintenance.Countryside pursuits: using an immense homemade and rather ugly trebuchet to hurl an old upright piano across the fields.
