that's a funny way to hold the tuning lever ! Where are your Papp's wedges ?

A real piano tuner can without assistance. I have perfect pitch and do that for years without it. These are real piano tuner.

Good job!
I am now at the beginning to tune pianos and I use Dirk's Instrument Tuner , how
accurate is your pocket tuner?

Why do you need a verituner?

Looks like he's using a Fujan carbon fiber tuning lever.

Where did you get your tuning hammer?

soo i guess you are pretty happy with the verituner eh? i am a randy potter student and i am thinking about getting the program for my pocket pc soon. thanks for putting up these videos and sharing your skill and expertise with the youtube world.
I carry a Papp's wedge, but being from "this side of the pond" haven't really found them useful!

Yup, it IS the first gen. Fujan. I have big hands, so I like the size...

see "piano tuning matching box to piano" video
Otherwise, it is just a matter of following the needle and spinner once you have an appropriate style set.

RC - The first part is more for getting information into the box. While I'm letting the box sample, I thought I might as well move some strings too! Also, just in case the Ih information is different for a string at pitch, this gives the box a chance to sample around 440 as well.

A pitch raise prepares a piano that is significantly off pitch to be fine tuned. If a piano is very flat, the pitch can be pulled sharp by a specific, determined percentage of how far flat the pitch was to start. As the structure settles while the rest of the piano is tuned, the pitch will settle down - hopefully really close to A=440Hz. The second tuning pass should be really simple then!
