Chris Vesty - Piano Technician - East of England

I'm a piano technician based near Bury St Edmunds, covering Suffolk, Norfolk and Cambridgeshire. If you're unsure what your piano needs, please have a look at the list of services I offer by clicking this link.

I’m passionate about getting the most out of every piano I work on, ensuring that the touch, tone and soul of each instrument sings out. I work with many manufacturers and retailers, who can rely on me to make sure each piano is performing at the highest level.

My services extend across a diverse array of settings including homes, studios, concert halls, and businesses. Additionally, I extend support to charitable organizations, care facilities, refugee shelters, SEND schools, and hospices by offering reduced-cost or complimentary services, fostering the joy of music among those in need.

I studied piano tuning and restoration in Newark-on-Trent, and completed several courses whilst working with C. Bechstein at their manufactory in Seifhennersdorf, Germany, with a focus on fine voicing, tuning and silent system installations.

Further training with Kawai and Yamaha at their UK headquarters means that I’m one of the few technicians who can confidently service Yamaha Silent, Hybrid and Transacoustic systems, Kawai ATX and Aures, as well as servicing and installing Bechstein Vario, AdSilent, PianoTime and Kioshi systems.

Rather than focusing purely on tuning, I take a holistic approach to piano maintenance, taking into account the needs of the pianist when tuning, regulating, voicing, repairing and cleaning a piano.

I've provided tuning and technical services for several concerts and recording sessions, including many at Potton Hall for labels such as BIS (Apple Music), Chandos, and Hyperion, and for artists from around the globe.
