Piano Tuning and Repairs in Tasmania
Welcome to Strating Pianos
Strating Pianos was established in 2018. Alistair Strating is a 2nd generation piano tuner, having been trained and mentored by his father Bert Strating. Alistair Strating is the Piano Technician for the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra and travels state-wide to tune and service pianos for a wide range of customers. We pride ourselves in providing professional, prompt and affordable services.
SCHEDULE A TUNING
Minor repairs can be done at the same time as a tune.
More complicated repairs that require specialty equipment will require the action to be removed and brought back to the Strating Pianos workshop.
Customers will always be given a quote before work is started.
TUNING PIANOS
Prices start from $270 for a piano tuning appointment where the piano has been serviced regularly. Many pianos also a require a pitch raise before the piano is ready to be tuned which adds $70. Pianos need to be tuned regularly. Strating Pianos recommends having pianos tuned at least once a year and twice a year for pianos that get a lot of use.
RESTORING & RECONDITIONING PIANOS
At Strating Pianos, we thrive on seeing old pianos restored to their former glory. Many of the pianos made around the early 19th century were absolutely stunning. In Tasmania, we are lucky to have a climate that helps to preserve some of these old gems. Contact Strating Pianos for a quote to restore your piano to your specifications.
Restoration can include
- New Keytops
- New Pedals
- Case Repairs
- Iron Frame Repainting
- New Treble & Bass Strings
- New Hammers
- New Damper Felts
- Sound Board Repairs
