Piano Tuning & Repair in Guelph

Looking for piano tuning Guelph homeowners can rely on? Oxford Piano Service provides professional piano tuning, repair, and care for pianos throughout Guelph and the surrounding area. A piano is an investment — whether it’s been passed down through your family, bought new, or picked up secondhand — and keeping it properly maintained makes a real difference in how it sounds, how it feels to play, and how well it holds its value over time.

We work with:

  • Homeowners with a family piano in daily use
  • Schools and music programs
  • Private teaching studios and their students
  • New and secondhand piano owners who want a professional opinion before or after a purchase

Piano tuning is the foundation of everything else we do. Changes in temperature and humidity — something Guelph sees plenty of across the seasons — pull a piano’s strings slightly out of tune even with light, everyday use. Regular tuning keeps pitch stable and catches smaller issues before they become bigger ones. Most pianos benefit from tuning once or twice a year, though instruments that see heavy use, have recently been moved, or sit in rooms with significant humidity swings may need more frequent attention.

Beyond tuning, we handle piano repair and refurbishing for a wide range of issues — sticking or sluggish keys, worn hammers, damaged strings, loose or rattling parts, and more. Pianos are mechanically complex instruments with thousands of moving parts, and problems that seem minor from the outside usually have a specific, fixable cause once you know where to look. We diagnose the actual issue rather than guessing, and recommend repairs that make sense for the piano’s age, condition, and how it’s actually played.

We also offer regulation and voicing for Guelph clients who want their piano not just in tune, but playing and sounding the way it should — regulation adjusts the mechanical parts of the action so the keys respond evenly, while voicing shapes the tone of the hammers for the room and the player. For humidity-sensitive homes, we can also advise on protecting a piano’s tuning stability between visits.

If you’re buying, selling, or simply curious about a piano’s condition and value, we provide assessments and appraisals as well — useful whether you’ve inherited an instrument or are weighing a used piano you’ve found. You can see our complete range of services, along with pricing, on our What We Do page.

I was looking for a new piano tuner in Guelph because I'm new to the area, and I'm very glad I found Mitch from Oxford Piano Sevice! His tuning was phenominal and the process was seamless from start to finish.

Had a family heirloom piano passed down to me. Was in pretty bad shape being pounded on from all us kids over the years. Mitch was able to bring it back to life both aesthetically and pitch perfect. Very easy to deal with and on budget. Would highly recommended.

Outstanding service!! Being brand new not to music but to playing a piano which was gifted to me and then transported it was in need of tuning and even to my ear it was a tremendous difference. From the first call until the process was complete so professional and thus 5 star rating is well deserved. I had the distinct pleasure of hearing it being played professionally and in tune before Mitch left our home. Thank you!!

From the first phone call to the final invoice, Mitch and team has the process nailed! Everything was smooth and efficient, pricing was very fair and and an excellent job was done. Mitch is helpful and friendly and certainly knows his way around a piano. He tuned my 1904 Heintzman upright and replaced 4 Ivory keys with the utmost care and consideration. I cannot recommend enough!

I've been a customer for 7 years now and Mitch's work is always excellent. He is friendly, knowledgeable, and organized. During our last tuning appointment he went above and beyond to clean the keys and oil the pedal so it doesn't squeak - it was an unexpected and appreciated surprise! Thanks Mitch.

Reading other people’s google reviews regarding Mitch from Oxford Piano Services made me realize that I am just one of many who have had the good fortune of benefiting from his skills and expertise. He took a one hundred-and twenty-five-year-old upright Heintzman, rebuilt it at his shop and it now plays like a new piano. I was brought to tears when I first played it, the sound was so incredible. On January 16 it had its first tuning. Mitch spent far more time tuning than anyone else ever has and let me watch while explaining what he was doing. He is such a pleasant person to deal with and I would highly recommend him to anyone needing care for their piano. His finale was playing a mini concert of two Chopin Nocturnes – Such a delight.

Excellent service! My piano pedal had developed a persistent and annoying squeak, and after Mitch efficiently analyzed and corrected the problem, the pedal action is super quiet again. Mitch even made the effort to fit me into his busy schedule two weeks ahead of my actual appointment, since the situation was so dire. Mitch does very high quality work. Thank-you!

Been faithful to Oxford service/Mitch for many years now. I recently got my hammers/some strings changed and they’ve been amazing.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Mitch, a piano tuner who truly knows his craft. He exceeded all expectations. His service was exceptional—quick, efficient, and delivered with a warm, friendly demeanour that made the experience delightful. He arrived on time, carefully assessed the piano, and tuned it to perfection in no time, all while explaining the process in a way that was easy to understand. The sound quality is now pristine, and it’s clear he takes pride in his work. I highly recommend Mitch for anyone needing top-notch piano tuning with a personal touch!
