Paul has tuned our much loved family piano for the last 5 years - a 200 pound scuffed old thing oldie from St Lukes Charity shop, but he made it sound lovely, despite its limitations, and was a great first piano. However, on the strength of his advice I have just traded up - now my teenage son has decided music is his life, and I've managed to get to a decent standard too - and we are both delighted with the piano I bought on facebook with Paul's advice about the design, make and the year. Its really beautiful to play on an upgraded instrument and has improved my pleasure enormously, and my performance as a pianist - THANK YOU PAUL! :-).
We recently bought a piano privately. It then had to go into storage for approximately 4 weeks. On Monday of this week the piano was delivered - it was badly out of tune. We rang Paul who had looked after our previous piano, before we moved. Paul came on Wednesday afternoon and fully tuned the piano and restored it to its former glory. It had been sadly neglected for some considerable time. We now have a piano that is a joy to play.
Paul has taken care of our piano for nearly 20 years. I would highly recommend his expertise. We received lots of support and advice once he new the children would be playing the piano and he took into consideration that other instruments may be coming into the household overtime and tuned the piano accordingly. Ace work, lovely guy. Thanks Paul.
I recently had my sadly neglected piano tuned by Paul. He answered my message promptly and was with me within a few days. My piano now sounds wonderful and is a joy to play. Also through conversation with Paul I learnt a lot about the instrument and playing it. An excellent job thank you Paul.
In March 2016 Bakewell Methodist Church experienced increasing difficulty in moving the existing Kemble Piano. Further, the castors were depositing an unsightly thick black mark on the new wooden floor. A 'phone call brought C Paul Fox to Church when he identified the problem and sourced the appropriate replacement castors. On the chosen day, Paul quickly assembled a special frame which upturned the piano for easy access to the castors. This heavy piano is now light and easy to move, and members remark on the change and appreciate what was done.
First time I tuned my piano with Paul from Sheffield Piano Tuner in 2009. It was great that time. Recently, after loosing his number, I found him on freeindex, contacted Paul on Sunday and he replied immediately, found my piano and my name:-) We managed to make an appointment for the next week. Paul is a great professional and also gives free tips for playing and setting your instrument in a room. Would recommend anyone! Worth of money.
Just got our piano tuned today. Been meaning to for a while but never got round to it. Without telling my son the piano had been tuned, I watched his face light up as he hit the notes this evening! Thanks for a job well done Paul. We sure will be coming back to you!
Having been housed for several years in a cafe my piano had been somewhat abused by over enthusiastic toddlers. It's at home now and I've been meaning to get it looked at for about three years. So glad I finally did, not only is it beautifully tuned but it plays like it used to, all the keys responding to a gentle touch again, the pedals working smoothly and quietly and the overall sound so much more enjoyable. Paul definitely has my recommendation.
Having decided to learn to play the piano in retirement Paul tuned my old piano. He gave me the name of someone who might be available to offer lessons. She was. I had lessons for a few months, really enjoyed them and playing the piano again, and decided that maybe the old piano needed upgrading. I contacted Paul, he was immediately responsive, and within a week or so he had delivered a Kemble. After it had acclimatised Paul was back within 24 hours of me asking him to tune it. I'll never be a concert pianist but I am so enjoying the experience of playing, especially on a significantly upgraded piano compared to the old, and one that is tuned! I have used the reminder system to ensure that this remains the case. Paul is so easy and enthusiastic about his craft - it's contagious. Thank you!
We have been meaning to get our piano tuned for several years but not got around to it. Paul arrived at our house last Friday when it was my birthday - this was a surprise from my husband as he knows how much I adore to play. Paul was friendly, polite and very professional. Our piano was so out of tune (3/4 tone lower than what it should have been) but now sounds brilliant. So glad we did this and we will get the piano tuned more regularly. Paul also has a range of supporting kit such as piano stools which we needed and he promptly delivered. I would recommend Paul to anyone.
Paul came to tune our piano the day after I contacted him. He was friendly, interested in the history of the piano and carried out all the necessary work on that first visit. We are well pleased with the results and we will certainly use him again. Peter Quinn, Sheffield.
