Pete was brilliant - professional, friendly, reliable, turned up on time, communicates really well. He did a wonderful job of tuning our piano which hasn’t been tuned for 10years! And all for a very reasonable price. He was also able to fix a broken piano key for us. Would definitely recommend and use again.
Pete provided an excellent service from start to finish. He was professional, knowledgeable and very easy to communicate with, and did a fantastic job tuning the piano at a client’s property. Reliable, friendly and a pleasure to deal with. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.
Excellent job and great communication. Would recommend.
Pete was professional and did a superb job tuning the piano Many thanks
Pete’s setting up of the appointment and his admin were efficient. He arrived on time and had a friendly, relaxed manner. He talked through what he was going to do and why and he worked hard until the job was finished. We have already recommended him to others.
Pete is great!
Fantastic service! My piano was definitely in need of a good tuning, and I have to say it now sounds the best it ever has! Pete was brilliant — friendly, professional and clearly knows his stuff. He did a fantastic job and I’m so pleased with the result. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Pete and will definitely be using him again.
Pete was great. Really friendly and professional. Did a brilliant job of tuning the piano which was exceptionally flat. Would 100% reccomend using his services
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.
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.
Pete did a great job tuning my piano. He’s friendly and efficient and I found it easy to book an appointment via the website.
Pete responded very quickly to our enquiry and came out to tune our piano the following week. Very pleased with the results. We now have a piano that is in tune, so no excuse for not practicing!
Pete is fabulous. Knowledgeable, thorough and a lovely chap. 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!
Pete was incredibly communicative and helpful. He carried out an excellent job and we have rebooked his services. We would not hesitate to recommend him. Thank you Pete.
Pete did a great job tuning up our free mini upright. Sounding so much richer and no more sticky keys. Definitely recommend!
Pete did an extremely professional and thorough job tuning the piano. It sounded amazing when he had finished! He was also very personable, polite and friendly mentioning relevant information and stories about his work.
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.
Pete did an excellent job on an upright piano I had used. He completed a full tuning and also fixed a sustain problem where notes were ringing on without the pedal being pressed. The piano sounds and plays much better now. The booking process was also easy to do online and you can pick the day/time slot that works best for you. Would highly recommend.
Pete did a fabulous job of tuning our (very) out of tune pianos. Have already booked him in for the next visit to keep them in tip top shape.
Excellent job and a very nice chap with brilliant knowledge x
Really helpful, quick to respond, and the piano sounds beautiful now!
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!
Great service! Was very flexible and did an early start to fit me in at short notice. Was able to raise the pitch and fine tune to get my beautiful old grand piano back in tune! Now playing/sounding fabulous.
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!
Pete was really responsive to my initial request and subsequent messages, and delightful to meet in person. He gave a thorough service re tuning our piano, and I will be very happy to book him again.
Pete is a very nice guy and knows his stuff, my piano sounds fantastic now. Will be using again
Pete was lovely - he was very patient and dedicated a lot of time to tune our baby grand with a pitch shift. We will call on him again for our regular tuning services.
So polite, timely and conscientious…we have a happy piano
Thank you so much Pete for visiting and taking great care tuning our very old piano. It has made a huge difference to the sound.
Friendly and thorough. Very happy to have Pete in our school.
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!
Excellent service from Pete and a great experience. Our piano is sounding great!
Pete did an excellent job tuning my piano. He is very pleasant and personable and I would highly recommend him.
