As a sole trader, an appointment made with Nigel Donovan, Cambridge Piano Tuner, will result in a tuning by Nigel as no other tuners are employed.
However, waiting times for appointments can be long. If an urgent request is made, Nigel can recommend other tuners he is mentoring who would be able to book a tuning much sooner.
Top quality used Yamaha upright pianos can also be supplied on request. The highly regarded 'U' series are sourced from reputable suppliers in Japan and reconditioned by Yamaha in approved workshops to a very high standard.
Nigel spent three years training at Newark College and acquired distinctions in his final tuning exams as well as a College Diploma. He has been successfully self-employed since leaving college and in the last forty years has taught tuning at Newark and trained several apprentices.
