Please help the self employed and write a quick email. The entire music industry among others is on its knees. Millions of people are going to need more support than is currently being offered.

Gotcha!

During lockdown I’ve been teaching myself to tune the piano. My advice to anyone thinking of doing this would be this: Don’t. Renewed respect to all the piano tuners. I’m sorry for ever talking or making any noise within a mile of your working environment.

Wonderful to have my Fazioli 183 tuned and serviced again! Thank you Finlay Fraser from Jaques Samuel Pianos! Of course all necessary precautions taken. Gloves, sanitiser, garden entrance of my flat. Get yours tuned, too, if you can. Tuners desperately need the work.

I wasn't ready to wake up either! So proud of jennykfraser for bringing Bonnie Saoirse Fraser into the world. No mullet this time around but plenty of chins 😍 instagram.com/p/CCdS9BFAYb7/…

More of this in the world please!

Happy to be back at work burning off all those mince pies!

Neil Fisher Orchestras can assemble only if they’re each also undergoing dental work in a garden centre.

I tuned for a recording of a Microtonal 19-tone equal temperament tuning across two pianos yesterday at Royal Academy of Music. 🤓🤯

bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0… Lovely to get a mention on radio 3's Late Junction for helping with one of James Batty 's Microtonal tunings. 1hr 45mins in. Thanks @Verity_Sharp1!

Lovely to be back at Wigmore Hall tonight with borisgiltburg.bsky.social on Fazioli Pianoforti for Prokofiev, Schumann and Ravel. 👂👌

A big thank U to concert promoters & orchestras who kept things going in 2021; to colleagues who performed with me and created great joy; to piano tuners and movers (😉); & especially YOU the audience who came out to be part of it all & those who listened at home. Onwards we go!

I would buy the album...

A tuning fork owned by Beethoven. Whereas the standard tuning pitch in the early 1800s is generally thought to be A=423.5 HZ, this fork produces A=455.4 HZ(!) Western tuning levels weren't standardized until 1939, when A=440 HZ was chosen at an International Conference in London.

Okay, Classic FM. Let's dance. 🧵

There's an unbelievable number of these posts from successful artists pulling out of tours. Sad times indeed. What does the future hold for aspiring musicians?

Our C. Bechstein Concert Model C-234 is one of our most hard working pianos. Featuring in all of our recitals, films, workshops and masterclasses, it really does see a lot of action. Here it is having a well deserved service from our visiting concert technician. #pianotechnician
