If your piano needs a bit of extra work alongside a tuning (for example: repair, cleaning, or voicing), this is the option to choose.
I would also recommend this level of service to any new customers whose pianos might be overdue some work.
A Full-Day Service allows time for wider ranging or more thorough servicing options. It will typically include a combination of tuning, cleaning, voicing, and regulation. Alternatively, it may be used for more exhaustive work in only one or two of those areas.
This service provides an efficient assessment of a piano’s condition, as well as recommendations and estimates for further work. It’s most popular among two different types of customers:
- Those who would like to get a second-hand piano checked over prior to purchase.
- Those who already own a piano, but are not sure what work it needs.
Provided that at least a Full-Day Service is subsequently carried out, 50% of the appraisal fee will be deducted from the final bill.
This fee also applies to late cancellations and missed appointments. Please see Terms & Conditions for more information.
Travel Charges
To cover motoring costs, Travel Charges apply for all appointments outside Swansea and its neighbouring areas. The map below provides a rough guide for the surcharge to expect in any given location. If you would like to clarify a Travel Charge before or after booking your appointment, please simply ask.
Please Note: Whenever I am able to schedule two or more jobs in a similar area for the same day, any Travel Charges will be appropriately split between all customers. So if you know someone nearby who’d also like their piano tuned, then please do co-ordinate and book in together.

Additional Charges
Extra charges most frequently apply to cover parts & supplies, and these will always be agreed with you in advance. However, please note that some uncommon piano designs are inherently more time-consuming to tune and service. Consequently, the price of standard tasks may need to be adjusted accordingly.
Such designs include:
- Certain compact pianos (for example, the original Eavestaff ‘Minipiano’ and the Kemble ‘Minx’)
- Blüthner grand pianos featuring their patented action design (manufactured between 1885-1925)
- Any pianos featuring oblong-shaped tuning pins, rocker capstans or tied actions (the latter two are most often found in older C. Bechstein models)
Payment
Payment for all services is accepted by the following methods:
- Bank Transfer (BACS)
- Cash
- Cheque
