Services
Fine Tuning
Precision and Expertise
A fine tune is appropriate for most working pianos, and costs £85.
If your instrument has been tuned within 12 months and not moved since, you can be fairly confident this will suffice.
Pitch adjustment
Returning to pitch
If your piano has been left untuned for some time, or moved some distance, then the pitch may need to be adjusted before a fine tuning.
A pitch raise or pitch drop can cost between £100-£300 depending on it's current condition. Get in touch with Bang in' Tune for an accurate quote for your instrument.
Repairs
Restoration and Repair
There are hundreds of separate moving components in a piano, all of which may be subject to wear over time. If you are having a mechanical issue with your piano, it may be possible to diagnose and provide a quote with a phone call or perhaps some photos sent via Whatsapp.
Get in touch today to speak with Joshua about the issues you're having.
Regulation & Voicing
Optimization and Precision
If your piano is in tune, seems to be working fine but has a touch-response or sound quality you're not quite happy with, then it is likely in need of regulation and/or voicing.
A full regulation costs £300 and takes a full day of work, though it may be that you only need certain steps to be taken. It is best to seek advice by giving us a call today and speak through the problems you're experiencing.

Joshua tackled the tuning of my piano, which hadn't been done in two years. It now sounds amazing and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to get their piano tuned! I'll definitely be reaching out to him again in the future. It was a bonus listening to him play while he worked!
Jenni
Absolutely incredible. Hearing my over 150 year old piano be brought back to life was amazing. From being told that it was “untunable” by others, Joshua worked his magic and tuned the old girl to concert standard. I can’t thank you enough. A really pleasant man, who does a phenomenal job. I can’t thank you enough!
