Robin has tuned our upright piano for many years and always does an excellent and meticulous job. And we always enjoy the wonderful playing at the end when he is checking all is in order!

So glad I found Robin. An excellent piano tuner, I had left it for too many years and thanks to Robin it now sounds excellent. Quick service and great pricing.

Robin Foster is a highly professional, reliable, honest and friendly piano tuner. It has been a pleasure to have our Blüthner-Haessler upright piano tuned by Robin. He was very thorough and took the time required to achieve a high quality result. He even offered to fix my wobbly piano stool which I’m so grateful. I won’t hesitate to recommend him because he has the skill and ability to get your piano back to its beautiful sound quality again. I have so much respect for him. I will definitely use him again!
Robin Foster deserved a 5 stars review because he has provided a 5 stars service!

Robin is an outstanding piano tuner. He has tuned our pianos a for many years.
Most recently he brought the best out of our Kawai K500.
Robin also handles small repairs with great skill.
He is also a very pleasant person to have around.
Highly recommended!

Mr Foster, displayed professionalism and ingenuity when fixing my pedal. I will have no hesitation in asking him back to tune my piano.

It is always a pleasure to have our piano (Hendon, NW4) tuned by Robin Foster. The instrument always sounds reborn anew - tuning is a real art and excellent tuners cannot be over-appreciated!

Today we had a visit from Mr Foster and he tuned my Welmar piano. It’s a 70’s piano, quite old of its age which my dad bought for me when time for a level music exams. After the tuning, piano was reborn and the clarity and full tone was unbelievable!
Previously I had 2 different tuners and the work done by Mr Foster was by far the very very best.
My only regret is that I wish I had known him earlier.

Robin has been our piano tuner since we first got a piano four years ago. He is super reliable, punctual, friendly and always leaves our piano sounding great!

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.
