Thank you so much for this series!

Do you think it’s helpful to get a sanders accutuner for a beginner?

Hyrum gracias por compartir tu conocimiento, gracias por tu bonhomia, eres muy didáctico!!!!!

As an aside the hammers are very hard on this particular piano.

Great Idea: I was discussing this with a piano tuner the other day. I felt there may be a simple solution. What about adding a tiny amount of rubbery Locktight around the edge of the bushing?

At 12:30 when testing the 4th, the high note having a faster beat tells you that it's wide. Doesn't that only work under the assumption that the partial of the check note is lower than both notes of the 4th? If the partial of the check note were higher, then a higher high note would be closer to it, resulting in a slower, not faster beat. Am I missing something? I'm trying to reconcile this with your claim in the octaves video that the check note doesn't need to be tuned. Thank you for the amazing course!

Sorry if i missed it on your video , but coukdnt you just put more punchings in the rear rail/ pin? Wouldn't it accomplish the same thing?

I feel so bad watching this guy trying to work with that ridiculous mask on. Fauci got us good.

It is strange that placing my iPhone to the right of E6 it shows .4 sharp , siting on top of the string 0 and to the left .5 flat... I do know that the developer is going to release a new version that utilizes all microphones in the newer iPhones that will clean up this phenomenon. ua-cam.com/video/C5GPMNgDlG8/v-deo.html&lc=Ugyi9Jz5NI4XN2dbvhR4AaABAg.ABW0oYYftdtABvo76_aLkE

I'm learning a lot from your vids but have one question: check notes:( I've just started but I noticed you use a M3rd below as a check note for both the 4th and the octave). Can you always use a M3rd below as a check? Not sure how to calculate mathematically the check note for a specific interval. It seems like back in the day we used a 10th below the lowest note?

You did mention wide and narrow and I prefer to use these words rather than flat or sharp for any intervals when discussing scale with clients. I don't know if you speak of 8ve stretch in other vids. Setting pins. You don't strike the keys very hard in this vid.

I came to Pianoscope from TuneLab. I’m much happier with Pianoscope as far as agreeing with my ear. I’m curious what style you have it set to. Have you experimented with the different styles or customized it to your ear?

after the temperament tune, do you then work on high range/low range? I missed it -do you always start with A440?

Then he sprays the detailing liquid into the cloth and inadvertently over the keyboard 😂😂

What a transformation! And it also goes to show that having a cracked soundboard is not the end of the world. Strange though how it cracked given the piano was previously in an environment of high humidity, as opposed to being very dry, or could it be a result of moving from a high to low humidity environment and drying out too quickly?

Many thanks for the video as my piano is new and has quite a few hammers that bobble. I would never have thought of doing this. So are you effectively increasing aftertouch in order to stop the bobbling? Doesn't this reduce lost motion (a small amount of which is necessary to stop key blocking) because the capstan will be ever so slightly higher; in this case presumably there was already enough lost motion such that you did not have to adjust it? This is certainly a lot easier than adjusting key dip on each of the notes and better than reducing blow distance. Thanks again.

Wow, where to begin! This series of videos, which must surely be a first to youtube, has been incredibly educational and illuminating. To actually follow a master at work in undertaking a full prep, from regulation through to voicing has been a privilege, not to mention all the really excellent questions that Josh asked along the way. Just as I was thinking, well what about that, what does this mean etc., Josh asked the question, which you very clearly answered and often demonstrated (showing the effect of making adjustments to their extremes made things very clear). In addition, Josh's playing ability and selection of pieces really brought out the subleties of the sound from the piano and the result of the changes you had made. I am so grateful for this series of videos. Many thanks indeed.

Thanks for sharing!

ありがとうございます。

What is your personal aftertouch preference as a pianist?

As an instrumentalist, I am used to perfect tuning.Ther are no beats or "waves" when tununing. How does that work with or not work for orchestras? I wondered how pianos weee tuned to standard tuning. Hope I can get used to this.

The sustain incredible, and I love the mellow sound.

Does tuning temerament come first or do you focus on other tunings first?

Ну,звучит как то не очень хорошо.. Хотя,я не знаю,как было раньше..

I don’t know if it’s a humidity factor here in Houston, but in some larger grands with large sections of understring felt with the strings buried in it, I’ve been adding Protek CLP to the felt at the strings for easier tuning and stability. In particular, there is a church with a Shigeru Kawai EX that on average is tuned every 3 months and no matter what I did I’d have to come back a week later to clean up a few unisons. After that it would be rock solid. I would pound it, I would do two passes even when it was only 2-3 cents flat, I would add CLP to other bearing points like the capo and aggraffes, and even the Stephen Brady forearm smash with the sustain pedal down. After I started lightly lubricating the understring felt it’s been stable after the tuning and the strings movement has been more reactive with the pin movement. The only hypothesis I have is that moisture is trapped in the felt causing some corrosion on the part that touches the felt and is creating more friction. So if you were looking for another reason to use more costly Protek, here it is! 😂 I swear, if we find out one day it’s just like soybean oil I’m going to be so pissed! 😅

You made that piano to sound wonderful!!

a question: when you do the last octave I saw that you do the 6:3 octave test. do you make them beat at the same speed? sorry for my english, I hope I explained myself. thanks

Thanks!😉😉

Thanks!

Too bad you didn't activate the translator option!😉

Do you have the UA-cam video made of BOSTON GRAND BEDDING ? What tool do you use for that? Please video it please.

Excellent !

This video is very practical and instructive for those like me who are self-taught in adjusting my upright piano by myself so thank you very much indeed.😉😉😉

Muito bom

Can't you just tune A4 to the fork? Seems faster and easier, so what is it I'm not understanding?

Can any tuner get the software or only the ripoff dealers can charge triple to tune it?

For 170 grand, shouldn't it tune itself?

Very educational video, thank you. I'm contemplating learning to tune, as I am learning to play as well. Your videos have been the most helpful and honest. Thanks again.

I can't imagine what this would cost to fix. My baby grand has a few keys clicking. As it happens, I have been leaving the A/C on 78 for a month or two. 😢

This is a very rushed tuning right? Just a rough draft so you can actually tune. Right? Because copying octaves (even while checking 5ths) is just making a copy of a copy of a copy eventually when you get super high or super low, the errors compound. The most beautiful tunings are when you get the most matched overtone combinations possible. It gives lots of resonance to the entire instrument. Verituner cannot do that well.

I’m taking notes for every video if someone wants them to study with for tuning.

Thank you, Hyrum. This is truly great and very helpful.

I can’t believe he isn’t famous or that this only has 5.5 thousand views after 2 years. He taught me more than everything else I found online.

I need a Tech like this one , we only have Tuners Not Technicians 😢

piano string broken and needs to be fixed. Isi which end can you precogmmmm

That is a magnificent sounding model D. Tonally well balanced with power in the bass that impresses but isn't overbearing to drown out other registers. The treble sings and sustains beautifully, added with a lush and resonant midrange. Kudos to Hyrum and his team for a beautifully done rebuilding job on this wonderful instrument. If I ever need rebuilding work on my Steinway, I'd have no qualms entrusting my piano to them. Well done.

Super!

Sounds magnificent! What a treat to hear, and probably even more to play! Love Josh Wright, too. Pianos at the Bachauer sounded fantastic.

The soft pedal point is so true for most pianos i usually avoid using una corda altogether, also because the shifting a whole keyboard sideways is really weird and startling 😅!!! Always wished for more subtle, still-noticeable-on-newer-hammers una corda voicing

There was a LOT of skilled work to get that kind of tone. well done. Josh Wright, the player, is so generous with his online pedagogy. Good dude!
