Hi Rick,

Thanks for a great and informative video. I am fairly new to this and am currently just trying to learn the basics. So far I have a basic understanding of aurally tuning strings to unison, and a very basic understanding of inharmonicity and stretch. However I have a question regarding your demo:

During the pitch lower section of the video, you are using mutes in order to e.g. isolate the middle string of a treble note and tune it to the slightly too low pitch (underpull) - the reason being that you want to overdo things a bit as the piano naturally will want to back-track a bit. This is followed by a "rough" unison tuning of the other 2 strings of the treble.

Then later when fine tuning you are using some sort of clamp which is clipped on to the hammer. I am a bit confused by this: what is the purpose of this "clamp"? Wouldn't it be just as good to perform the final (fine tuning) using mutes similar to what you did during the first pass?

Thanks

Dennis

curses! I want to use this but I have no idea what 'wound string' and plate strut is! :(

Respectfully, all I see is a Tune-Lab copy cat, but I don't see all of the other many features that come with that program. Tunelab is a one time fee, no subscription program, and it comes with a Forever License that I use to install on upgraded devices. It also comes with free updates.

Does it do mock tuning exams, drop box file sharing, etc.?

My hat's off to anyone that tries to revolutionize ETD's, but I'm missing what's special about this for sick a hefty price.

I’m using the paid version of Piano Meter. What’s the difference between these ?

I have an old Winkelmann piano which is damaged by . What can I do to make it useful, or how can you help me?

The tuning will never hold tuning like that

Спасибо за видео. Tunelab в красивой обертке. Программа сырая. Думаю не взлетит.

This is the worst way to tune a piano, I use a professional piano tuner to tune my piano, not some computer app!
