This video made me chuckle. 2 out of 3 of my passions. Classic cars and Pianos. Now only if there was an Accordion in there....

This is why you should always bring in a specialist piano carrier when moving any piano more than a few inches. It can be a costly mistake and could even severely injure someone.

A terrible message…

I received a distressing message last week from customers who purchased a beautiful Grotrian-Steinweg upright from me a few years ago. In their efforts to move the piano it had fallen over, flat on its back!! A visit to Emsworth later and the piano is back on its feet with a few minor repairs required, it will be fine. After two operations on the arm that it fell on, the owner is in recovery. I post this awful image as a warning to anyone thinking of moving their piano themselves.

Very well done her.

Freya Terris' achievement has inspired music exam board ABRSM to publish a new syllabus for one hand.

I don't just do new pianos. This English built upright is over 100 years old. If you have an older piano that you want to sound unlike a pub then you know where to call... Or message me on here or WhatsApp. More than happy to help and/or give out advice.

🎹💡 Piano Tip Tuesday: What Happens If You Skip Piano Tuning 💡🎹
Skipping regular piano tuning doesn’t just affect how your piano sounds — it impacts how it functions over time. Here’s what can happen when tunings are delayed:

🎵 1. Pitch Instability – Strings gradually drift out of tune due to tension changes, temperature, and humidity, causing the piano to sound uneven or “off.”

🎶 2. Increased Tuning Difficulty – The longer a piano goes without tuning, the more unstable the pitch becomes, making future tunings more time-consuming and costly.

🧠 3. Ear Fatigue & Poor Training – Practicing on an out-of-tune piano trains the ear incorrectly, which can negatively affect musical development and ensemble playing.

⚙️ 4. Added Stress on the Instrument – Uneven string tension places extra strain on the soundboard, bridges, and pinblock, increasing the risk of long-term issues.

💰 5. Higher Repair Costs – Neglected tuning often leads to larger pitch corrections and additional maintenance that could have been avoided with routine care.

✅ Best practice: Most pianos benefit from tuning at least once or twice a year, depending on use and environment.
Regular tuning isn’t just maintenance — it’s protection for your instrument and your music. 🎶
