Tuning a piano is one of the difficult things to learn. The chords mustn't be tuned at the same way...

[DirksProjects]

@192asso That's right. The piano tuner software calculates the optimal tuning for each chord. This way the piano gets tuned exactly right.

This was an extremely helpful video. I did have a question if you don't mind. It was difficult to see how you dampered the 1st and 3rd strings with the red velvet cloth. Can you explain a little bit of how you did this? Great video, thanks! I now have the courage to tune my mother's piano (40 year old piano never tuned).

@larryshair - Check the website dirksprojects.nl. Click on the piano tuner and then on the link "How to tune a piano".

In english it's also called a tuning lever.

To be honest I think its easier to get a bloke in to do all this faffing for me :D

Sup Dirk.

@cris001kay - I agree entirely. I normally tune the middle string, un-mute the left, tune that then un-mute the right and tune that. Although, the A3 he did here didn't sound bad at all.

Thanks for this video, really helps! Im planning on buying the software soon. In your opinion, with all the tools in this video, could you do paid work as a piano tuner? As a student studying music, this seems like a geniune business opportunity?

Is the software you're using comparable to the Accu-tuner 2 or 3?
