More and more piano tuning inquiries are coming in this month. I wonder if it’s the approaching Christmas season making people want to play their pianos. If you’d like your piano to be in great shape before your relatives come over for Christmas, now would be a an excellent time to book me in for a tuning!

As a guitar player I’ve been playing lots of gigs recently. After a week of travelling to parts of Sheffield I’d never seen before for various piano tuning jobs, I had an outdoor gig at the Leggers Inn, Dewsbury. I’m used to travelling to gigs in Barnsley, Rotherham and Doncaster (or working there as a piano tuner), but this is the first time I’d been as far as Dewsbury and I enjoyed the experience. It’s a lot easier to tune six strings on a the guitar than it is to tune 230 strings on a piano! Unfortunately, since becoming a piano tuner my sense of pitch makes playing a slightly out of tune guitar incredibly annoying, so I often find myself tuning the guitar during songs (during the bits where the guitar is silent). My guitar didn’t like the cold weather and kept going out of tune mid song.

This Saturday I’m travelling to Robin Hood’s Bay so I can tune for some of my customers in the Scarborough/Whitby area. If you live in Scarborough, Whitby, Robin Hood’s Bay, Ravenscar, Burniston, or any of the surrounding areas, don’t hesitate to get in touch. I’m usually in the Scarborough/Whitby area once a month at the moment.
