“I had my piano serviced by Ranjan Fernando, and I am extremely satisfied with the results. His expertise in both piano tuning and repairing is remarkable. The piano now sounds beautifully balanced, with a clear and warm tone. He also took the time to explain the work done and provided useful tips for maintenance. Ranjan is professional, punctual, and clearly passionate about his craft. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable piano tuning or repair services.”

Keep Every Instrument at Concert Pitch
Precision tuning and maintenance for pianos in homes, schools, studios and concert venues across Sri Lanka.
Starting From
LKR 5,000 · per tuning
Looking for reliable piano tuning in Colombo? A well-tuned piano should feel balanced, sound clear and respond consistently across the entire keyboard. Ranjan Fernando Piano Centre provides professional piano tuning and maintenance for homes, schools, studios, concert venues and other institutions across Sri Lanka.
For Sri Lanka's changing temperature and humidity conditions, regular tuning is especially important. We assess the instrument first, tune with precision, play-test the full keyboard and record the work completed so you know what your piano needs next.
Most acoustic pianos in regular home use benefit from tuning twice per year. Instruments in performance venues, recording studios, or music schools where practice is intensive often require more frequent tuning to maintain optimal pitch and tone.
Master Ranjan Fernando represents a rare musical heritage passed down through three generations of the distinguished Rodrigo–Fernando family, and has dedicated more than four decades to mastering the art and science of piano care — adapting every instrument to Sri Lanka's tropical climate for optimal stability and longevity.

Our Tuning Process
Three stages, every visit — from first listen to written record.
01
Assessment
We begin by playing through the full range of the keyboard, listening for pitch discrepancies, identifying strings that need pitch raises, and checking the overall condition of the action.
02
Tuning
Using precision electronic tuning devices combined with our technician's trained ear, every string is brought to concert pitch. Severely flat pianos receive a pitch-raise treatment before fine tuning.
03
Certification
Once complete, we play test the piano across its full range and provide a written service record noting the condition found, work completed, and recommended next service date.
Know the Signs
Signs Your Piano Needs Tuning
Out-of-Tune Notes
Individual keys sound flat, sharp, or simply "off" against the rest of the keyboard — especially noticeable when playing chords.
Changes in Sound Quality
The overall tone sounds duller, harsher, or less resonant than it used to, even if no single note stands out as wrong.
Not Tuned for 12+ Months
A piano left untuned for a year or more will have drifted noticeably from concert pitch, even with light use.
Piano Recently Moved
Relocating a piano — even within the same home — can shift its tension and tuning stability, warranting a check.
Temperature & Humidity Changes
Sri Lanka's seasonal humidity swings cause the soundboard and strings to expand and contract, pulling the piano out of tune.
How It Works
What to Expect, Step by Step
1
Consultation
We discuss your piano's history, how often it's played, and any specific concerns before scheduling your visit.
2
Inspection
On arrival, the technician inspects the action, pinblock, and strings to assess the instrument's overall condition.
3
Service Execution
Every string is brought to concert pitch using precision tools and a trained ear, with pitch-raises applied where needed.
4
Quality Check
We play test the full range of the keyboard to confirm even tone, correct pitch, and a stable, responsive action.
5
Completion
You receive a written service record with the condition found, work completed, and our recommended next service date.
The Advantages
Why Regular Tuning Matters
Protects Your Investment
A consistently tuned piano holds its tension and value far better than one left to drift for years between services.
Trains the Ear Correctly
Students and performers who play an in-tune instrument develop accurate pitch recognition from the start.
Even Tone Across the Keyboard
Proper tuning restores balance between registers, so no section of the keyboard sounds harsh or muted.
Early Problem Detection
Routine visits let our technician catch developing issues — loose pins, worn felts — before they become costly repairs.
