I have been involved with pianos since childhood. My passion for music and love of the pianoforte instrument is expressed in my fine work, of which I am very proud.
People come to me for many different reasons. Everyone has different tastes and priorities.It may be size, tone, price or aesthetics that are important to you. That is why my pianos are of a very wide range of types. The only thing that does not vary is the quality of my work.
I also carry out restoration work on treasured family heirloom pianos. No amount of advertising can compare to the personal recommendations that I receive from people who have seen and heard my work. From beautiful antique walnut designs to state-of-the-art new and modern ones. Whether you are a novice or a professional I will make it a matter of pride that I do my utmost to supply what you are looking for. If for any reason I am unable to fulfil your requirements I will endeavour to find someone who can.
It is amazing how much quality of work and pricing can vary. Your computer can allow you to find prices that you didn't know could exist and a quality you didn't know you could afford.Please now view some examples of my work and my range of new pianos which are available for delivery anywhere in the world at your convenience, 24 hours a day 7 days per week.

Tuning Temperaments
How many piano tuning temperaments are there?
There are countless variations, but most fall within three major categories;
1. Meantone, which generally concentrated the dissonance into a few unusable intervals (often called "wolf" intervals), so that the others could be Just. These are often called "restrictive" tunings, since there are certain intervals that are not usable. Good intervals are really good, bad ones are really bad. The Meantone era was approx. 1400-1700
2. Well-Temperament, which gives more consonance to the most often used keys, and more dissonance to the lesser used ones. Though not equal, these tunings are "non-restrictive" because all intervals can be used. The intervals range from Just to barely acceptable. Well-temperament refers to a genre, not a specific tuning. The Well-Tempered era is approx. 1700-1880.
3. Equal Temperament, which spreads the dissonance equally among all intervals.
There is no difference in consonance or dissonance between any keys, thus, there are no good ones or bad ones. Equal temperament represents a complete average. Dates of its acceptance are debated, but there is ample evidence that it was widely available by 1900 and is the predominate tuning on keyboards, today.
