If your piano sounds slightly off, your fingers will feel it. Tony Prince Piano Tuning brings decades of experience to upright and grand piano tuning, helping keep instruments in tune and performing their best.

Tuning isn’t guesswork—it’s an art backed by technical skill. We adjust every string with attention to how the piano reacts in real time. That means checking overtones, temperature shifts, and the subtle signs that tell us how your piano wants to sound. The result? A clear, consistent tone across every note.

Our Tuning Hits The Right Notes
Tuning isn’t just about sound—it’s about touch, tone and feel. Regular piano tuning helps protect your instrument, improves playability and keeps it sounding like it should. Whether you’ve got an heirloom upright or a performance-ready grand, we work with the natural voice of each piano to deliver clean, resonant notes that last.
We tune pianos for schools, teachers, studios, performance venues, churches and private players across the region. With over 30 years of hands-on tuning, Tony understands the small adjustments that make a big difference. It’s all about consistency and clarity—so you can just sit down and play.
Piano tuning also plays a role in preserving your investment. Letting tuning slide too long can lead to string tension issues and instability. When we tune, we also check the action, pedal response and other details that impact playability. It's a whole-instrument approach, designed to help you get more out of every note.
How often should a piano be tuned?
Most pianos should be tuned at least once or twice a year, depending on the environment and usage. Newer pianos or recently restored ones may need more frequent attention while the strings and parts settle.
If your piano’s moved between climates or rooms, even a small shift in humidity can affect tuning stability.
Regular tuning maintains the string tension and tone quality while preventing minor pitch issues from becoming major problems.
How long does a piano tuning take?
A standard piano tuning usually takes between 1 and 1.5 hours. This can vary based on the condition of the piano, when it was last tuned and how much correction is needed.
If your piano hasn’t been tuned in a while, it might need additional adjustments such as pitch raises. It's best to set aside a quiet window of time so the tuner can work without interruption.
How do I know if my piano needs tuning?
Common signs include sour or “off” notes, inconsistent tone across the keyboard or an overall flat or sharp sound. If your piano hasn't been tuned in more than a year, it's likely out of tune.
Even if it still sounds okay to the untrained ear, slight deviations can affect performance and the lifespan of internal components. A tuner can check and correct these before they develop into costly repairs.
Can old pianos still be tuned?
Yes, in most cases. Older pianos can often be tuned successfully, provided the frame, strings and pin block are in good condition.
However, some may require additional work such as regulation or minor repairs before tuning is possible. A skilled technician will assess the condition first and advise on the best approach to restore pitch stability and tone quality.
