COVID update

As an update to my last post, I have decided with regret that I am not able to take new bookings until further notice. Although the government's advice has been somewhat confusing at times, it seems clear that the only way to beat the virus is for us all to stay home as much as possible and avoid spreading it. For this reason I think the only responsible course of action is to close temporarily notwithstanding any financial loss.

If you do wish to contact me about any piano-related subject, I am still answering the telephone and e-mails, and I am very happy to arrange an appointment when the current restrictions are lifted. If you already have a booking, I will be in contact with you.

I would like to thank the many valued customers who have used my services in the past and I look forward to seeing you again once we have all made it through the current crisis. Keep safe everyone.

Many thanks,
Andy

Coronavirus (COVID-19) statement

Obviously we have all been much preoccupied of late with the serious situation developing over the pandemic of COVID-19 (coronavirus) and it is absolutely vital that we all do our part to reduce the spread of this dangerous pathogen.

The current position as far as tunings is concerned is as follows:

• I am willing to carry out tunings, but I am taking additional precautions, such as handwashing on arrival, wiping keyboards after I have finished, &c.
• If you believe that you are in a "high-risk" group for coronavirus or believe you might pass it on to someone in a high-risk group, I would suggest not calling ar present - it's not worth it.
• If you have any reason to suspect you or someone in your household has coronavirus, you can ring me at any time to cancel - there is no cancellation charge.
• Equally I might need to cancel at short notice for the same reason. If government advice is that I should cease activity, I will do so immediately.

I believe many other small traders and businesses are facing similar difficulties in trying to take the correct course of action. I am sure that eventually we will all make it through this period of unprecedented challenges, and I will update on this blog if the position changes at any point.

Kind regards,
Andy
