Our all important air compressor is being very naughty!
I suspect a problem with the starter unit as the pump is fairly new and regular oil changes.
Anyone up for repairing it? Single phase Ingco

Hi everyone, there’s a scam going around that started overseas. It offers a free grand piano if you can “only” pay the shipping or moving fee.
They cite different towns and cities in NZ where the piano is situated, and tug at the heart strings of every pianist and decent human to pillage them of their money.

Please don’t buy into it.
Nothing is genuinely for free.
Just so you’re all warned.

Merry Christmas to all you fantastic pianists and your Whanau out there.

Happy new year to all of you!

Thank you so much for your loyal support in our first year of business.
Last year was incredibly busy for us, and we are ready for next year.
We are moving our main workshop back home so that we can get even more work done for you, with less travel.
A big thanks to Hoekstra Pianos for their support.

Seasons greetings from Mokie, Charmaine and myself.

As many of you may know already,
DS pianos has purchased the tuning business from Hoekstra pianos.

The work is already in full swing, and quite full on!

Happy New Year everyone.

Happy holidays from the workshop, we have a number of interesting projects on next year. Whilst the tuning has been taking up a lot of time, we will still see a number of rebuilds go back to their homes, and a few big ones on the shop floor.

Year over, have a great holiday everyone!

I’ll just stand around while Nick gets those pesky bridge pins out shall I?
This is A Bechstein Model M with new bridges in the foreground, and A new pinblock and bridges for the Steinway D to the rear.

It’s been a while folks!
Three months into our move and things are running smooth in the new workshop.
Currently we have a flotilla (I’m sure that’s the collective noun) of European pianos in all different states of repair.
If you drop in, we can make you an instant coffee.
We are currently working to improve our coffee. 😉
