Technical Service 

In addition to providing a tuning and maintenance service covering most areas of Sydney ( phone for a booking or send an email ), Carlingford Music Centre carries out repairs and restorations in well-equipped workshop facilities at the rear of the store. 

We also supply and install Dampp-Chaser piano humidity control systems. 

Dampp-Chaser

If your upright or grand piano suffers from sticking notes, muffled tone or if you live in an extremely damp or dry environment, Dampp-Chaser could add years to the life of your piano in addition to the stability of tuning, tone and touch. 

For more information see the Dampp-Chaser web site.

This exclusive pre-delivery preparation guarantee provides you with these benefits:

Tuning stability after delivery

Every piano needs a time of adjustment (usually 3 - 6 months) to its new location. During this period the instrument will remain in tune because it has been stabilised prior to delivery. 

Quality Tone

The hammers of the piano have been voiced to provide the best possible tonal quality from your instrument. Using skilled toning techniques the sound of your new piano will be even through each register from bass to treble. 

Precision Touch

Combining the factory specifications and extensive experience of a Master Tuner, the action of the piano is regulated and adjusted to provide the optimum in performance. Each note will respond precisely and evenly giving pleasure to both the beginner and the accomplished pianist. 

A Lifetime Investment 

When the piano is delivered to your home, you can be confident that this high quality, precision instrument will perform at its peak and provide musical enjoyment for many years. Because the piano has been carefully prepared prior to delivery, you can be confident of your purchase from Carlingford Music Centre
