My name’s Jon, and I’m the founder of Harmony Works.

This all started in Oxford. I’ve been involved in music most of my life — DJing, producing, collecting records, helping run events — but over time I found myself pulled towards the quieter side of things. Piano tuning offered something different. It’s hands-on, focused, and there’s real satisfaction in bringing an instrument back to life. Getting all the notes to sit just right, nothing clashing, nothing out — it’s a job that rewards patience and a good ear.

I got my start at Roberts Pianos, working with a skilled team of tuners and technicians. It was a proper old-school setup. Pianos coming in for restoration, customers from all over, tools everywhere. That’s where I learned the ropes: how a piano works under the hood, what goes into maintaining one, and how to tune them properly. I spent four years there, and tuned hundreds of instruments; uprights, grands, family heirlooms, rehearsal room workhorses, the lot.

In 2021, I started Harmony Works to offer a straightforward, high-quality tuning service across Oxfordshire. No upselling, no drama - just honest work and consistent results. I built up a solid base of regular clients: schools, music venues, private homes, a few local piano teachers. Every job mattered, and I took pride in building a business that people could rely on.

These days, I run things remotely. I’m still fully involved in the business, but the day-to-day tuning is now handled by Dan — a professional piano tuner with years of experience, and someone I trust completely. In fact, he’s been tuning longer than I have. He takes on my client jobs across Oxfordshire, keeps the standards high, and brings the same care and attention to detail that Harmony Works has always stood for.
