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 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.

Robin has been tuning my Yamaha for many years now. Delightful person who always tunes it to perfection and at a more than reasonable price. Heartily recommend

What is the difference between Overdamping and Underdamping?
Take the same elastic band and place your finger near the centre to stop it from vibrating this is underdamping, which of course is more efficient. Overdamping is controlled by gravity where as underdamping is controlled by adjustable springs so on the whole underdamping is far more efficient than overdamping. However, there is one disadvantage with underdamping. That is, if the dampers are incorrectly aligned to the nodes and antinodes of the vibrating string this will result in, the dampers when they come in contact with the string, emphasising certain harmonics on the piano, thus giving you a harmonic ring, this is more common on small uprights and small grandís as the margin of tolerance decreases as the piano becomes smaller.
