Keep the Piano Singing!

About ten years ago, we purchased our grand piano, hoping it would not only enrich our Sunday worship but also become something the whole community could enjoy. And that’s exactly what has happened!

Since then we’ve welcomed choirs, performers, music groups, schools, and many others into St Luke’s, all making wonderful use of the piano and filling the church with music.

Because it’s been so well loved and well played, the piano is now in need of some careful TLC. A few key parts inside the action have worn down over time, and to keep the instrument sounding and feeling its best, we need to carry out the following work:

New Hammers These restore a warmer, fuller tone and improve the piano’s dynamic range.

New Rollers These help the action repeat smoothly and quickly, especially in fast passages.

New Key Bushings These keep the keys steady, quiet, and responsive under the fingers.

The total cost for this servicing is £1,800, which is a significant amount for us as a charity.
