Amateur piano tuning tutorial

DISCLAIMER : Tune your piano at your own risk!
Here are a few basic rules to remember:
- If you tune a string and the sound does not change, STOP immediatly you are probably tuning the wrong string. Check again. You could break a string easily.
- Don't do this on an expensive piano
- If you have been trying for more than a few minutes to get a string in tune, have a coffe (of whatever you like)
- Sometimes (especially on older piano) even a single string can sound like if it was out of tune. Just try and make the best of it but that's just because of imperfections of the piano. That string will always sound like that.
- Be indulgent with your tuning results. If you really don't like how you tuned your piano, call a professional tuner.

That's rediculous. I've tuned my own and all of my friend's pianos twice a year for years. There is absolutely no reason why you can't learn to tune your own piano.

wonderful the korg will do a nice shit even with a far more sophisticated software you must be a tuner to enter the right parameters for tuning your piano so take the risk of break your piano?

that's true and this is why horowitz rubinstein herbie hancock lang lang needs professionals piano tuners for there concerts because you will never never be able to understand what we are doing .you need at least to tune 7 pianos a day during 10 years to start being a good tuner so make some maths and later you can go home and this is only for tuning

Surely being a piano tuner makes easy money, if you don't want to work full-time.
