Established by Colin Marshall in 1984, Marshall Piano Services has been lending its knowledge and expertise to the Northamptonshire and West Cambridge area for more than 35 years.
Prior to starting the business I graduated London Metropolitan University, formally known as London College of Furniture, with a City & Guilds Qualification in Piano Tuning & Restoration.
As a piano specialist, the services I cover include:
Your piano should be tuned regularly to ensure it remains stable and healthy. As an experienced piano technician I am able to identify and address any potential issues before they become a problem. I usually suggest your piano is tuned approximately twice a year to keep it in the best possible condition.
I attend all appointments with sufficient tools and equipment to undertake most common repair requirements from broken strings, sticky keys and everything in between.
As well as personal & professional piano tuning Marshall Piano Services can also undertake the reconditioning and restoration of pianos from uprights to full concert grand pianos. This can cover case work French Polishing, restringing, piano key restoration and even full rebuilds.
If you are looking to buy or sell a piano I can also offer my assistance in buying and selling evaluations. Please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss.
All work carried out in adherance with government guidance, see below for my full Safety at Work policy.
This piano belonged to a customer who is a professional musician and music teacher. The piano lived in a garden studio. Due to the extreme changes in temperature seasonally, and the regular use, it was very important that this piano was tuned regularly. On the occasion in this video the heating had accidentally been left on overnight, causing the room to become so hot that candles melted on top of the piano and the piano quickly became out of tune so it was a big job to bring this back to perfect pitch. As you can hear the client was very happy with the end result.
This was a Steinway Grand Piano from South Africa which was inherited by a client who contacted us to restore it to its former glory. This video shows some of the restoration work undertaken to complete this, it was a complete restoration, and so rewarding to bring the piano back to life.
