Professional Piano Tuner/Technician serving the northern half of Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire. I started my career as a radio technician for a small company in Louth in Lincolnshire, serving my apprenticeship between the ages of 16 and 21. In 1983 the company I worked for went bankrupt and it was at this point I decided to re-train for a career in piano tuning.
I attended the internationally renowned course at Newark Technical College between 1984-1987, qualifying with the college's own Diploma and City and Guilds Parts One and Two in Stringed Keyboard Instrument Manufacture. After leaving college I was self-employed for a time before working for Wilson Peck in Sheffield (1988) and Forsyths in Manchester (1989-1990).

The temperament I use is Equal Temperament. This is standard, although it is possible, particularly with the use of modern technology, to tune your piano to an historic temperament. Where possible, I tune to the international standard A440 Hertz. This was set in 1939 at an international conference held in London.
A. The recommended period is six months, although this does depend on usage age of the piano and how stable an environment it is kept in. A. Seasonal humidity changes are the biggest reason to maintain your piano every year. The pitch will drop over time, making it more time consuming when you do eventually have it tuned.
