Thanks, this is the most helpful video I've found on tuning the piano yourself. PianoMeter is the perfect app. Works perfectly, user friendly, and only $25. Your explanation of your technique was helpful. Rattling the pin a bit to see if it slips a little. I also think taking the note sharp and then slightly rattling it back is the correct technique. With guitars and bass you're taught to tune up to the note. But that's because with low tension and shoddy tuners, they can slip if you tune down to the note. With piano, the tension is extremely high. So if you tune up to the note, it is more likely to slip. Then if you rattle it back to the note, you can be more certain that it's stable. About the unisons: I actually like using both the app and my ear to make sure the unison is as close as I can get it. Confirm on the app that each string is ideally within a cent of the target and then confirm by ear that it sounds pure.

There is somthing so beautiful about playing a piano you have tuned. You play beautiful and I appreciate your skills and talents! What an amazing gift you have sir

Hitting the note hard is not to see if it slips, it's to even the tension on the non-speaking parts of the string.

Can you tell me where I can get the sheet music for this arrangement of Jean?

May I ask what app is that?

I thoroughly enjoyed your demonstration and explanation of tuning technique. It makes much more sense than most KZfaq videos on the subject. I’m about to start tuning my own piano, which needs a touch-up at this time. Your explanation of the PianoMeter app was most helpful.

How beautiful is the piece🎉glory to the heaven, thank you for your playing, may god bless you and your family ❤

The first music in May Sings to my heart "Live for today" 'Tis a sigh Floating by That whispers a warning Your rapture is dawning That song Calls us away Just you and I We must obey There's a chance For romance Let's follow the music in May

Blissful playing

Omg, all these years i have been wasting my time disassembling piano cabinets! And somehow the practice felt/mute rail will magically disappear!

My piano tuning technique is very easy... I know this very attractive woman that is a RPT. She is very good but pricey... she tunes pianos in a bikini and she doesn't mind me being in the room with her, but we can talk, she has to focus on tuning. Works for me.

Would you mind letting me know what book you're looking at for the sheet music? Sounds lovely :)

Does the piano tuning app help with the temperament or you would still need to know how to temper by ear?

Very helpful to me. Thank you sir.

This is the single best and most accurate piano tuning video after Mark Cerisano's. It's better than 99% of videos in every way, the ear, the explanation, the experience, the "semplicity". Truly a golden nugget to behold.

Hello sir, Thank you for such great demonstrations. I understand well that when you turn the pin, the string will go up or down. But how can it be with a metal pin and with a hammer that just a slight push forward or backward is enough to change the tension of a string?

so well explained compared to all the others on tuning. But i would just like clarification on the pushing forward and pulling back i.e. know which way to adjust after testing.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Romans 10:9-10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. John 3:18 “He that believeth in Him is not condemned; but He that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Psalm 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Lovely. I want to learn this piece aswell but cannot nowhere find 2 lines music sheets for piano... what book u using Sir ??

Beautifully played ❤ do you have any sheet music of this online x

Thanks you for the masterful performance!

First time after listening to a dozen or so videos that I could clearly hear the beats great work!

My device is a Peterson 490-ST strobe tuner. Do you have some tips on tuning the high treble section? I always struggle with this when using my strobe tuner because the tones are so short that it's hard to read the display on the screen. Thank you.

So glad I found another left-handed tuner like myself. It made it easier for me to follow. The pace was just right, too. It wasn't too fast. Nicely done.

I use a Keyes Impact hammer and the impact is very gentle . I always tune down a fraction to save a mistake and then tune above the note ,watching the meter .Then tuning down again I stop just short of the note and do a gentle pull (outwards) to get the note exactly right . The pull was advised by a Grand Piano tuner and it seems to combine very well with the impact method . I also have a number of very efficient wooden planes and I use various size hammers to set them accurately with little knocks and taps . The impact hammer use is more like a Patting action .

loved your pace and phrasing...well done, filled with emotion...beautifully crafted Ian..thx for sharing this one

Very pretty.

Beautiful beautiful!

Any piano tuner that says they are tuning 6 or more pianos a day is probably fibbing. The average for a professional is 2 or 3 maybe 4 a day, if they are doing really good ones.

Lovely sounding Bluthner there :)

Really nice playing

Muy buenas interpretaciones Ian . Precioso piano, has probado a grabarlo con las tapas frontales abierta? La de arriba y la de abajo. BEST Regards from Spain. David.

Looks good on the surface, but I have a few questions so I can better understand: Might a problem arise by pushing and pulling up and down (levering fore and aft or left and right) on the tuning pin over and over cause the hole in which the tuning pin sits to become oblong, making the tuning pin looser in the hole in the pin block over time? Is it not possible to break off the tuning pin by using the tuning hammer to lever the tuning pin over like that? Might what you are showing be a technique to show after teaching proper rendering of the tuning pin? What are other ways to deal with NSL, non-speaking length of the string that won't deform the tuning pin hole? Nice playing by the way.

Clear concise explanation. Thank you! Beautiful playing as well! What brand tuning hammer and what degree angle on the head do you use?

Beautiful sound. What kind of piano is that ?

Beautiful! 💞

Well played, Ian. I love this tune and you played beautifully. Kindly, C.

보통 재즈곡에선 스윙에 감동을 받곤 하는데 잭슨님의 연주에는 뭔가 알 수 없는 따듯함이 느껴지네요. 마치 명절 때만 볼 수 있는 손녀에게 들려주기 위해 꾸준히 노력하신 것만 같은.. 잘 들었습니다.

The most helpful video on tuning on the internet! Perfect. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this video. Yours is the most simplified and comprehensive display of pin and string setting I have found online to date.

Great song and beautiful piano playing.

Good job!

Great recording, Ian! Enjoyed hearing this.

In tune , it’s at 0? Thanks

So wonderful as usual! 😊

what is the name of the tuner application?

First.

Это приложение для настройки не стоит своих денег

Hello Ian, how much time does it take to tune the whole piano?
