Piano tuning in Paphos
Piano tuning, repairs and moving across Paphos and the surrounding villages, including holiday properties and instruments shipped from abroad.
Paphos is a straightforward run west along the coast from Limassol and is covered on regular scheduled visits, so a routine tuning rarely means a long wait and travel is normally included in the price.
Paphos has a high concentration of instruments belonging to people who moved to Cyprus and brought a piano with them, often a good English or German upright that has crossed Europe in a container. These need careful reassessment after the move: shipping and a new climate together will have moved the tuning a long way, and a pitch raise is often required before a fine tuning will hold.
Properties that stand empty for months present the opposite problem — a piano in a closed, unconditioned house through a Cypriot summer takes real punishment.

Frequently asked questions
How often should a piano be tuned in Cyprus?
Twice a year for most homes. Manufacturers recommend two tunings annually, and the Cypriot climate makes that advice more relevant rather than less — the swing between humid coastal summers and dry winter heating moves the soundboard more than a temperate climate does. A piano that is played daily, or one used for teaching or performance, benefits from three or four. If an instrument has gone several years without attention it will usually need a pitch raise before a fine tuning will hold.
How much does a piano tuning cost?
A standard tuning is €100 and takes about an hour and a half. That covers a full tuning to concert pitch plus a check of the action and tone while the piano is open. If the instrument has drifted a long way below pitch it needs a pitch raise first, which is quoted before any work starts — you will never be surprised by the invoice.
Which areas of Cyprus do you cover?
The whole island. We are based in Limassol and work regularly in Nicosia, Larnaca, Paphos and the Famagusta district, as well as the villages in between. Travel is usually folded into the price rather than charged separately — ask when you book.
Does a piano need tuning after it is moved?
Yes, but not immediately. Moving itself rarely knocks a piano out of tune — what does it is the new room, with its different temperature and humidity. Give the instrument two to four weeks to settle into its new environment, then tune it. Tuning the day after a move usually means paying for the same job twice.
Where should I put my piano, and does air conditioning harm it?
Keep it away from direct sunlight, away from an exterior wall if you can, and out of the direct airflow of an air conditioning unit. It is not cold or heat that damages a piano so much as rapid change — an A/C unit blowing straight onto a soundboard creates exactly the kind of sharp humidity swing that cracks wood and unsettles tuning. An interior wall in a room with stable temperature is ideal.
