For over 30 years The Piano Shop Bath has been tuning pianos. Our professional piano tuners recommend having your piano tuned at least every six months, to keep it in the best playing condition. We can perform tuning work in addition to any minor repair work, at a time to suit your schedule, on a home visit. We provide our piano tuning services across the South-west of England, including Bath, Bristol, Swindon, Cardiff, Stroud, Chippenham, Glastonbury, the Cotswolds and throughout Somerset, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire.
There are often many misconceptions as to what is meant by ‘tuning’. For clarification, we have summarised below, the key actions that can be carried out by our technicians on your premises.

SERVICE, REGULATION & TUNING
We'll look over your piano for any repairs which may need to be made
Fine piano tuning
Changes in temperature and humidity are the primary reason why the piano goes out of tune. This can cause the soundboard, the bridge and the strings to expand and contract leading to the strings to change pitch, even if a piano is not played.Ideally, the piano should be tuned twice a year; usually about a month after room heating has been turned on, or off. From £87 which includes certain minor repairs and adjustments.
Pitch Raising
Over time, without regular tuning, a piano’s pitch will become lower (flatter) and will need a pitch-raise. A pitch raise may necessitate more than one visit as further fine tuning may be needed after a settling down period. From £141
Piano Service and Repair
As well as servicing the piano to keep it moving smoothly and quietly, we will also repair any issues such as sluggish keys, squeaky pedals and broken strings. Price on application
Regulation of a piano’s action
Regulation adjusts the action of a piano so it responds sensitively to the player. Whether you are a beginner or a professional, discussion with one of our technicians should result in an action that optimises the playability of the piano to that sought by the pianist. Price on application
Voicing
Pianos that sound too dull, too bright or simply uneven require a voicing adjustment. Discussion with our technicians will result in a tone ideally suited to the musician’s preference. Price on application
