Australasian Piano Tuners & Technicians

Author : Nichols Robbins | Published On : 06 Nov 2026

Twenty-five years ago, David restored my beautiful but weary 19th Century Bluthner to new life as an instrument with a lovely rich tone. Since then he has tuned it every six months to keep it at its peak. David has a love and knowledge of pianos which is evident in the care he takes on every visit.

Restoration will give your worn out piano a new lease on life to bring a lifetime of enjoyment for generations piano tuning west pennant hills to come. Do not take anyone’s word that your piano isn’t worth repairing unless they are willing to go the extra mile, turn up at your house & tell you why your piano is not worth repairing. I started my training by being accepted as a student technician at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music in 2009. Unfortunately in the same year, the Global Financial Crisis happened  and the course was then cancelled.

Upright tuning takes around 2 hours, with a 1-hour buffer for setup and any light follow-up.If extra services are added (e.g. cleaning or regulation), we’ll let you know the total time in advance. Powerpoint Music Centre's musical instrument hire programme is designed to remove the fear from allowing your child to explore their passion.

Exams and concerts are the two things that tend to inspire excellence (because someone other than your friends, family and teacher will be listening) and this is a great motivation! In general, the pace may be ‘one grade per year’ with most children being able to achieve Preliminary grade within one year of lessons, provided they do a little practice. Even 5 minutes a day, or ten minutes a few times a week, will really zoom the child’s progress. However even children who don’t practice at all will progress, though more slowly.
For example, changes in temperature and humidity levels can cause wooden components to warp or crack, and the felt on the hammers can wear down, affecting the tone and touch of the piano. In addition, regular use of the piano can cause mechanical components to become misaligned or damaged, leading to issues such as sticky keys or a sluggish action. A pitch raise is necessary when a piano has not been tuned for a long time and the overall pitch has dropped well below the standard reference level.

I think most children and parents would be impressed at how fast their child is progressing. I make sure we have some what I call ‘easy wins’ – pieces that sound good, fast – and aren’t too hard for the child. Often we will learn some of a piece and if it proves too hard, learn another one in between.
