I offer piano tuning, servicing and minor repairs in Sheffield, U.K. and surrounding areas. If your piano needs tuning or perhaps has some sticking keys or doesn’t play as well as it should, please contact me to discuss your requirements. You can phone/text me on 0780 407 3959, or email me on thepianosol@gmail.com .

I assess your piano prior to carrying out any work and discuss options with you to find the best course of action for you and for your piano – whether that is a standard piano tuning, a pitch raise to bring the instrument to concert pitch, a full regulation of the piano action or repair/restoration work.

My training as a piano tuner and technician at the internationally respected Newark School of Musical Instrument Crafts furnished me with the skills and knowledge necessary to perform piano servicing and tuning to a high standard. To ensure my work is the best it can possibly be, I stay abreast of new developments and techniques in piano technology by undertaking continued professional development and staying in touch with colleagues in the piano trade.

As a musician, I understand the significance of a pianist’s relationship with their piano, and the consideration required when approaching any work on a musical instrument. I place great importance on communication with the customer to ensure that my piano tuning, servicing and repair work is to your satisfaction. If the work needed on the piano is beyond my resources e.g. a full workshop restoration or a replacement piano, I can often recommend a suitable restorer or retailer should you wish.

I hold an Enhanced D.B.S. Check (Child Sector) and am available to work in schools.

Please see my COVID-19 policy for more information about the measures I am currently taking to protect my customers.

Testimonials

“Sol was clear, friendly and timely. The piano was beautifully tuned, exactly as we needed. I would happily recommend Sol and will certainly be a regular client.”

Kate E.

“Sol has tuned our piano a couple of times now and is very professional. She was recommended by our piano teacher. She gives an honest assessment of your piano and tunes to concert pitch( if possible for your piano). We had a couple of broken strings which she replaced and didn’t charge to come and retune afterwards.”

Pippa R.

“Sol did a great job tuning our piano, which hadn’t been tuned since 1997! She was very professional and covid safe. Thanks Sol!”
