Pianoscope Tuning App Full tuning demonstration

I spent around 30 minutes tidying up the tuning on this Yamaha C6X. To be honest it didn’t really need to be tuned again after the last tuning but I was curious to see how my old tuning held on paper and how long I’d need to get it up to scratch again. The pitch optimise feature of the pianoscope app is a very useful feature. Normally I’d have just tuned the piano again to the chosen pitch but this feature saves valuable time and preserves tuning stability for the instrument. The piano was tuned using the ‚balanced‘ mode.

In what cases are you most likely to float a pitch? Have you tried Pianoscope with a reference microphone? I used one with Tunelab for many years but the more recent iPads have adequate mics.

Hi, I will now almost always float the pitch unless the piano needs to be at a specified pitch or is under A-440. Pianoscope works out the floated pitch based on keeping the piano as stable as possible. It’s a game changer for stability. I don’t see any need for any other kind of mics. iPhone and iPad work without issue (so far).

So you're just trying to keep everything -+ 1 cent ?

@@maxrey4055 did I really say that? On my first pass using pianoscope I think this was true. Now that I’ve been using the program more and more I bring the needle to 0 and can even get the unisons insanely close using the program.

@@Gavinbrady-Pianotech I was just commenting on what I saw in the video. I wasn't aware it was just a 1st pass

@@maxrey4055 in my experience if you get to a piano which is quite a way out +-1 gets you really close. More often than not there’s not time to get it to 0 depending on where the piano was at the start of the tuning. Concert work or your own instrument is a different story of course.
