Clapp Tuning

I am an experienced piano technician, specialising in tuning, repairs and reconditioning, in and around Essex.

I am a fully qualified and experienced Piano Tuner-Technician. This means that not only do I tune pianos, but I repair them too... not something that all tuners will necessarily do! I fell in love with the piano whilst I was studying piano performance at Trinity College of Music (now Trinity Laban Conservatiore of Music and Dance) and became fascinated with how it worked, inside and out. I have re

paired and tuned pianos for many celebrities as well as holding a tuning residency at a top West-End theatre for a year. I also attend domestic tunings at the convenience of my customers. I enjoy every part of piano maintenance, with no job too small! Please feel free to contact me via the link here, to discuss your piano's needs!

As much as I love the buzz of the city, my heart always feels at home in the countryside. Essex is such a beautiful county, it just gets overshadowed by the tacky stereotypes! This morning's tuning was in lovely Terling.

What does your local friendly piano technician do on her evening off? Go to see "Tuner" at the cinema of course! How could I miss this one?! I can't wait to see how thorough their researcher was on this one!

Spent a very satisfying morning cleaning out this Bentley for . It had been stored in a barn, so it was very moth-damaged. It actually tuned up beautifully after a preliminary pitch raise 3 months ago. It looks lovely in their venue and I am looking forward to seeing what new ventures they will achieve with it! It's wonderful to be able to give a piano a new chance to make music once again. Huge thankyou too to (my super Work Experience student) for working so hard on it with me.

I gave this piano the "seal" of approval! The things I find in pianos! Fellow techs, what's the weirdest thing you've found in a piano? #

Just another graveyard shift.. for the last year, I've had the privilege of tuning at The Savoy, in conjunction with . I have to tune at night, when the piano is not in use, and the residents are tucked up (mostly) in bed!

Something different today! I didn't dare remove this player action, as I know the pipes can be really brittle, so I had to stand on my tippy toes to reach over to the tuning pins. The problems of being a short piano tech! Honestly, I love it! Such a fun invention, and she tuned up nicely too!
