Robin continues to perform a wonderful service on our U3 on a regular basis. Not only is he professional but very passionate about music and a lovely individual - I certainly enjoy our conversations on live music and then, hearing my children having fun on the tuned up piano. Highly recommend Robin.

I had my piano tuned for the first time by Robin Foster and would highly recommend his services. I don’t think my piano has actually been tuned so well previously. I’m a pianist and teacher and have had difficulty finding a tuner so I’m extremely pleased to have found him!

Robin Foster, tuned my piano today, and it sounds fantastic. Professional and efficient, highly recommended!

Robin did such a great job tuning the piano at home, (which hadn't really been tuned since we bought it about a decade ago) - he spent a lot of time doing his job and managed to make the piano sound brand new! A really friendly person too and his service definitely worth the price we paid! Would definitely recommend to anyone!

Robin patiently tuned my piano which hadn't been done for over four years because of Covid.
It therefore took a little longer.
Very pleased with the service Robin provides and will now endeavour to make this a regular, annual visit.

Robin gave an excellent tuning of my Ibach grand piano last week. The piano sounded fresh and alive. He also mended a note that was not sounding. I was very pleased with the work.

Robin has been tuning our pianos for nearly 27 years. He’s always on time, and does a great job. We have a Yamaha baby grand and it’s always singing age he’s been.

Temperament
Temperament is both the process and result of making slight changes to the pitches of a pure musical scale, so that the octave may be conveniently divided into a usable number of notes and intervals. In the history of Western music's 12-note octave tradition, there have been several, fundamentally different forms of temperament applied to the developing keyboard. Music suffers when performed in a tuning that is different than that which the composer used in its creation.
Well Temperament Keyboards
Well Temperament Keyboards may be tuned so that all keys are musically usable, but contain varying degrees of the "wolf". This is the tuning used in this recording. Between the Early Baroque and Romantic eras, the popular tuning was something between Meantone and Equal Temperament. This era was a brief, transitional stage in temperament history, but considering the music composed during this period, its importance cannot be overlooked. This style of tuning is called "Well Temperament" following the use of the term by J.S. Bach. The term refers to a genre, rather than a specific temperament, as there were many Well Temperaments in use between 1700 and 1825.
