Meet Patric
The person who tunes your piano is the person who answers your message.
I've played piano for 33 years and have tuned and repaired pianos for 10. I hold a degree in contemporary and jazz music from COPA, an ACM-accredited institution.
At Wits University I move the pianos as required and I am responsible for tuning them, including the Shigeru Kawai SK7 concert grand. I also tune all the pianos for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Roodepoort.
I work on upright and grand pianos, electronic keyboards, guitars, violins, bowl-back mandolins, accordions and trumpets. Old pianos were built to last generations, and I enjoy bringing them back to life.
Based at 65 Louis Botha Rd, Bonaero Park, Johannesburg, 1619. Serving Kempton Park, the East Rand, Johannesburg and Pretoria. Clients include Wits University, The Lyric Theatre at Gold Reef City and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Roodepoort.
Recent work
Most recently at Wits University I moved a Yamaha concert grand from the third floor to the basement, onto the understage scissor lift and up to the stage, then tuned two grands to match exactly for a recording with two pianos and a choir.

Patric did an amazing job at fixing and tuning my piano. He cleaned it, replaced some keys and strings and got it back to great condition!
Nonhlanhla Sitole
Extremely knowledgeable and very reliable. He was able to beautifully restore and refurbish an old piano. His pricing was a lot more reasonable than other piano businesses.
Lisa Rikki Hirschowitz

Common questions
How much does piano tuning cost in Kempton Park?
A standard tuning is R900. A pitch raise tuning is R1 200.
What is a pitch raise?
A pitch raise brings a piano that has gone well below standard pitch back up before it is fine-tuned. It takes more work than a normal tuning, so it costs R1 200.
How often should a piano be tuned?
Most pianos should be tuned at least once a year. Pianos that are played daily, or have recently been moved, may need it more often.
Do you repair electronic pianos and keyboards?
Yes. The fee to open a keyboard is R600, and cleaning contacts and circuit boards is R600.
Do you do piano restoration?
Yes, including cabinet resprays. Restoration usually ranges from R5 000 to R10 000 depending on the piano, excluding transport.
