I offer a number of services for harpsichord, spinet, and clavichord, and I am available to work in Bristol, the South-West, and South Wales. I am proud of the quality of my work, and offer a bespoke service to new and returning customers.
Carey Beebe is probably the most traveled and best known Australian harpsichord maker, and an award-winning restorer of early keyboard instruments with a special interest in square pianos. He regularly tours to maintain instruments for private and institutional owners, particularly around Asia.

There's also a rather nice video on YouTube featuring
Carey's workshop and a rather fine Kirckman harpsichord

Tony Milliard makes beautiful baroque oboes and bassoons. As a skilled lathe-operator, he has very kindly offered to make turned pedal-legs for pianos which have lost their originals - a rather common problem. Tony is based in Northamptonshire, and as a square piano owner, he understands what is needed.
Cesar Hernandez trained with Lucy Coad, and is now available for specialist square piano removals and tuning. He is based in Tunbridge Wells, near to London, and could be available for on-site adjustments and repairs in the area.
He is seen here tuning instruments at the Richard Burnett Heritage Collection in readiness for a concert.
