Auckland Used Piano Centre

By far the oldest piano I tune. The serial number I could find dates it to around 1800 but I’m not sure about that. 😳 could be though.

You will never see this on any of our pianos.

The smallest grand I look after in a beautiful little chapel within a school.

One of the nice aspects of our work is the variation we have. This last week working in Singapore at the spectacular Esplanade Theatres on the Bay. Although every concert hall basement is the same, travelling internationally is always interesting. The task of getting concert pianos in A1 order is always an enjoyable challange. This trip also involved a trip to the wonderful Yong Siew Toh Conservatory… an incredible facility.
Back on a flight now to man the AUPC shop at the weekend. Perhaps see you there.

Another school. In early today before the noisy ones arrive…

Yamaha U100. Made in 1996. May as well be new!

I can confirm that .lalacafe are good to their word even for piano tuners.

We’ve just delivered a second piano from AUPC, sold to Auckland’s Town Hall in recent times. The first one is used for the warm up piano for soloists in the Great Hall, the second will live at the KTK Theatre.
Their latest purchase has replaced an older Kawai that although is a bit beaten up on the outside, works well. We are working with Town Hall management to find a school who are genuinely short of funds and would be appreciative of this instrument as a gift.
Please get in touch with Glenn if you know of anyone who’d like to be considered for this.

I’m in the shop all today and some of tomorrow and I’m lucky to have my daughter Rose helping me 28 The Avenue, Albany if you’d like to come and see and play some pianos.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Container day 😁 including 2 Yamaha C3s. (Artistic edition) That gives me something to play with over the weekend.

Workshop day 😁 80s hip hop on. 🎵 🕺

Piano repair while tuning. Missing teeth.

Bosendorfer imperial. 🤤 This thing is as wide as some small baby grands are long. 😂 Absolutely gorgeous to tune. Pianos don’t get much better!!

Someone forget the piano tuner was coming… no probs. Walkies. 🚶‍♀️

Right… I’m off to Wellington to meet up with loads of other piano tuners and talk about pianos all weekend. I’ve just finished tuning a few of the pianos at the shop so they’re all sounding tickety boo! If you want to come and see them, give Glenn a call on 021 611 391!

Bosendorfer 200 grand and this Yamaha UX-3 upright are both in the shop. Both of them in beautiful condition. Bosendorfer are one of the very best piano builders and a dream to work on. Yamaha UX series uprights are arguably one of the best uprights made.

Todays walk.
