Tuning £75. Includes raising pitch from up to 1/2-tone low when your piano has been neglected for years. No other local tuner will do this for your piano without bellyaching and fee hikes. Big pitch raises should always be followed up in weeks with another tuning to solidify things. Search Underwater Piano Shop for more information.

Additional work, such as hammer shaping and regulating – which add value to a piano, or repairs taking 1/2-hour or more, is pro-rated at £50 per hour.

Barter or Service Exchange considered in lieu of payment. Will travel anywhere a bike, car, bus or train takes one. Can fix anything on your piano.

"Ben Treuhaft is simply the best tuner, one who can finesse beauty out of a so-so instrument, assess what a piano needs and with skill and artistry tune or refurbish it. He's worked with great artists and has that extra something that only great tuners possess." - Beth Levin, NY (premier US concert pianist)

"I have known Ben since the Berkeley days. I was a friend of his mother Jessica Mitford. I moved to the East Village many years before he arrived. I am a pianist/conductor and I jumped for joy when I saw Ben on the street in the village one day. He has tuned all of my pianos. He IS one of the best tuners in the world. When I visited Cuba several years ago, his name was mentioned all over and they are so thankful to have had him send pianos there. Coventry is about to get a bolt of lightening and a great guy. Don't be fooled Ben is one of the best piano technicians in the world. He did leave a pastrami sandwich in my grand piano after a tuning my grand piano. I guess he was in a hurry to get to the next job. So I ate the sandwich. May God bless Ben and his wonderful family. He should have no problem in Great Britain. After all, he aunt is the Duchess of Devonshire." - Charles Darden, internationally beloved pianist, composer and French hornist
