A piano tuner relies on the beats (not the curve) to tune. A curve (which differs from one piano to the other) is helpful in understanding the stretch, but not so useful for piano tuning. It does not provide an inharmonicity curve in current version 2.0.1. The beat curve is so amazingly useful for a beginner to "see" the beats, especially for the unison. It is easier and more accurate than Tunelab when you want to adjust a string according to the beats (as it provides thorough information for the beats). "IC Piano Tuner" focuses more on the micro-aspects of individual string performance. here's my Hailun 218 tuned by me with VT (Verituner) It could be that Dave Carpenter of VT has hit the nail head with his program and that there is absolutely no way to duplicate it without copyright infringement. ![]() Surprising that no high-end shareware or open source piano tuner has hit the market yet. TL (not 97) may do a slightly better job than some!! Also, as you've probably figured out, C8, B7, and A#7 (ie the top three notes) are HARD to tune on ALL programs. Once you've used it for a couple of years. The piano (my experience) becomes a different instrument, literally.īut, IH measurements, and careful mic placement are very important. Also, you get an end-result that "sings", or "resonates", for want of a better term. Unisons, which are pretty easy to realize on TL are super-precise on VT. It takes finessing to use it, but once you get used to massaging it, the results (in my view) are superior to anything you are likely to get from an old-fashioned tuner. On Verituner: quite frankly, the program is OLD software, but it can work MIRACULOUSLY, better in my view than all but the most accomplished tuners. For uprights I think it is settled opinion now that hammer levers prevent flagpolling. Also, please use a top-notch tuning wrench. do NOT tighten to reach the target pitch rather ease into it from above the target pitch. do NOT flagpole the tuning pin, thereby wrecking either slowly or quickly the piano's pinblock 2. The MOST important point (well, 2 points) is 1. ![]() Once you get the hang of tuning, it is not hard to keep your piano in perfect tune ALL the time.Ĭontary to what I've heard SOME (not all) tuners say, learning to bring each string of the piano into tune is not all that difficult. If you intend to spend years and years at the piano, and would probably spend over 600 bucks (or thereabouts) on pro tuning, Verituner is worth it. Thus, every note's ideal tuning is calculated on the basis of its relation to every other note on the piano, and you get a typical tuning curve: jagged ups and downs off the smooth, idealized curve, which is what you get with a pro-tuner. Verituner is the only program that I'm aware of that actually calculates precise (non-linear, non-idealized, non-smooth) tuning curves. The limitations of this approach are that while your temperament octave (A3-A4) will probably sound OK placed on an idealized curve, the entire piano tuned that way will sound less, sometimes far less, than "reverberent" for want of a better term. (May be Cybertuner is different, can't say for sure.) TL is as good as you will get in free tuning programs in fact, ALL of them (save Verituner) work pretty much the way TL does: they produce a smooth tuning curve based on the individual IH measurements of your instrument. essentially the same program! So if pro works for you (with timeouts) so should 97!!! In fact, you can run them simultaneously, just to double check the accuracy of your IH measurements. ![]()
