How To Tune an Upright Piano in Under One Minute

Busy, busy busy. That's what you are. That's what I am. But more than busy, I'm cheap. Cheap, cheap, cheap. So much so, in fact, that I decided I was qualified to tune my own piano. Would I recommend it? No. But if you do decide to tackle it, this is the process in under one minute.

NOTE: I actually used a condenser mic into a DAW for the tuning in the end. I found it to be far more precise.

I bought the kit and figured it would be like tuning my guitar. Only 270+ more to go. I appreciate the honesty😂

[Johnnybananass-_]

It took me 37 years and I’ve just mastered turning guitars . Now I have set aside 426 years to master tuning pianos.

If only all of YouTube could be so efficient and yet still charming.

Thanks for 1 minute video. This is all I need to get started. Some guy had a 1 hour long video explaining this. Who’s has time for that??

[doug]

Thanks, man. I wish all tutorial videos were as thorough and concise as this.

[zwaglou]

the video might be one minute but tuning the piano is 1 month

[Khosrowasadollah]

Thanks a lot mate. You are the first person to explain piano tuning correctly and quickly👌

[brunopascal]

Well done... Concise... straight to the point! Many thanks.

[desireemillion]

oh darn I thought you meant I could tune the entire piano in under one minute ;)

[davidsbunny]

Wow! Ive got my great-grandmother's piano & it has been tuned in 24 years. Hoping this'll help fix that dang F3 key.

"Do this 279 times and... "😂

[museinglis]

…Amazon is having a sale on Perfect Pitch right now! 😅

I tune a piano that has not been tuned for over 50 years using my ears without using a machine. Tuning can be completed in just 3 hours.

[beaubergeron]

😩 Update: bought the kit and the app. Started messing with one key and I can not seem to get it back to tuned. I ruined one key ughhhh. So much regret. You may not know how good you have it.

Does this fix up loose piano keys on an upright piano? 🤔🎹

[ElikemTheTuner]

As a professional tuner, I found this hilarious. What is the name of the app, though?

[AngieNixon]

If you tune each note to exact match of the chromatic tuner, you will end up with a piano that only tone deaf people can tolerate listening to being played. ;)

[wudgee]

What if one key doesn’t produce any noise at all, is that a broken string or hammer?

[iamanonymous]

So I’m confused because I can’t fit a sponge in the very top of the piano

[michellesgarden]

I wanted to see it done but not take forever..thank you for the video...my piano will probably turn into a modern drinks bar as its simply incredibly old ..thus not worth tuning .
