Piano tuning from New South Wales’ trusted firm
Ron Fletcher was first introduced to pianos by his grandfather Ron passed away in 2019 , who secured him an apprenticeship at Palings in Waterloo, Sydney many years ago. After completing his training at Palings Music, Ron went on to become a piano store manager and chief tuner in Newcastle, Wollongong and Sydney. Thanks to his professional background, Ron can build a piano from scratch and is also a trained pianola restorer and technician, with more than 55 years’ experience.
Corey Fletcher was trained by Ron over six years, making Fletcher Pianos a third generation business. Skilled in all aspects of piano tuning and repair, repolishing and removals. Having been in the family business for over 28 years, Corey is continuing the tradition and it’s hoped that the company will be taken on by the next generation of Fletchers.
Both Corey and Ron have tuned pianos for many people over the years, including Roger Woodward and Jimmy Barnes, as well as Neil Sadarka and various others.
Tuning costs: The tuning fee for Newcastle/Central Coast is $180.00, with all other parts of NSW $190.00. Corey regularly travels to most parts of NSW.
