“…bringing our Bentley piano back to life after more than twenty years of gathering dust.”
David Neale · Google review
Friendly tuning for all types of wonderful pianos in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire and across the Cotswolds.
Chapter I
A family upright that hasn’t been touched in years, or a grand that’s tuned regularly.
What matters most is getting every piano sounding as good as it can. Exceptionally flat, sticking keys, notes ringing on, a house-clearance find or a piano moved one too many times: the reviews are full of pianos like these, brought back to life.
“He has tuned my very old neglected piano to concert pitch, and fixed the damper pedal.”Rebecca Watkins · Google review

Chapter V · Reviews
Punctual, patient, good with children and very clear about what each piano needs. In their own words:
Pete was excellent from the initial enquiry through to completing the work. He arrived on time and spent a considerable amount of time bringing our Bentley piano back to life after more than twenty years of gathering dust. The piano now sounds beautiful and is ready for our children to enjoy. Pete is trustworthy, professional and highly recommended.
I can’t recommend Pete’s piano tuning services enough. Our piano had been through years of neglect and a few moves, and Pete did an amazing job bringing it back to life. His pricing was very fair compared to other local tuners, and he clearly knows his stuff. He was friendly, reliable, and great with my kids—patiently answering all their questions. Highly recommend!
I would definitely recommend Pete to tune your piano. He has tuned my very old neglected piano to concert pitch, and fixed the damper pedal. Great job.
So polite, timely and conscientious…we have a happy piano
Great service, prompt booking and easy to process. Our piano was purchased from a house clearance without any knowledge of its condition; we were really pleased it was tuned and back in great working order so quickly. We will definitely book again to keep it in good condition. Highly recommend!
I am so pleased with the work Pete did on my piano. It sounds lovely, is beautifully in tune (it was a big job) and I’m thoroughly enjoying playing my piano again. Highly recommended.
Our Bluthner piano hadn’t been tuned for five years and although not badly out of tune it certainly needed attention. I’m glad to have chosen Cheltenham Piano Tuning. Emails and texts with Pete were prompt and clear, the piano service itself was excellent and he’s a nice person to have in your home. Thank you Pete!
I was very fortunate to meet Pete who came out yesterday to tune my grand piano. It was much in need of tuning after moving it to my new home. It also had a problem with the sustain pedal system. With patience, determination and skills Pete was able to resolve that problem and he tuned my piano beautifully. I highly recommend Pete. Thank you so much!
