Charles Newland

We had Charles tune our upright Beale piano today. He was great to deal with, punctual, friendly, professional and did a fantastic job! We'll be having him tune our piano again in the future :)

I rarely leave a review for anyone but having just had Charles tune my recently purchased piano, I had to make an exception.I've read the reviews on him by professionals etc. and I have to say he gave the same attention to my second hand, marketplace purchased, Yamaha upright.No-one watching, no-one home besides my kids, he spent 3 hours perfecting my cheap (but loved) piano.I arrived home around 2 hours in without him knowing and listened (while I worked in my office)Not asking a price before hand, I was expecting a shock given the time and expertise... the shock, however, was at how little he had charged me.!Finally, not because of the affordability but because of his commitment to perfection, I have saved his details to my phone and my bank :) as he will be looking after my piano as long as he is willing.With thanks to Charles

As a full-time recording artist I require regular piano tuning for my Steinway grand Model O. I have my piano tuned every couple of months and Charles always takes the time to ensure all the unisons are perfect, so that every note sounds beautiful, smooth and in perfect pitch. I cannot recommend Charles highly enough. His rates are quite reasonable and my piano simply sounds best when he tunes it!I recently asked him to do some restoration/repair work on the hammers and his work was excellent. As it's an old model grand, the key weight was getting a bit heavy and also needed voicing and regulating. Charles shaved, regulated and voiced the hammers which greatly improved the overall tone and playability. He is honest and will let you know the most cost effective way forward, to bring your piano back to life.Charles tunes both my cheaper upright piano and high-end grand piano and he gives the same amount of care to each. He's one of the best in Adelaide and I highly recommend him.

Great rates and did an amazing job. Would highly recommend!

Charles tuned my new baby grand piano, spending around an hour and a half of perfectly intense application to what he was doing. I have been a musician since the age of four and I can pick the slightest bum note at 100 paces. I listened from the other room as Charles, left alone, concentrated on his craft and I was super impressed at what I could hear coming from my lounge room....not a single note out of tune.Very impressed and would have no hesitation in recommending him to others.

Charles can find the notes

Excellent piano tuner, my previous tuner was the late Alec Buchanan who tuned for concert pianists such as Alfred Brendel, Vladimir Ashkenazy and Roger Woodward and I was hoping to find a piano technician who would approach Alec's standards. Highly recommended!

On time. Professional and courteous. Piano sounds great. Thanks Charles

Charles tuned my piano and did an excellent job. I recommended him to my boss and my mum, both of whom were very happy with the results.
