Thank you, Stu. I don't know how I missed this video for so long, very enlighting. Ifnyou have the chance, would you mind shooting a video describing voicing and regulating? This might help the less educated/amateur players (like myself) describe their requests more accurately to th technician.
Thank you for this video. Last year I bought a piano from a private seller. The piano was purchased new from a dealer in 2015. Before I purchased it I hired a piano technician to inspect it for major problems. He said it was out of tune and felt that the owner probably did not tune the piano since she had it as her son quit playing after a year. So when he piano got to me I expected to have to tune it several times to get it right. It’s been 10 months now and it’s been tuned 3 times. The last piano tuner told me he couldn’t find anything structurally wrong with the piano either but that he also found it was unevenly out of tune. He said he would come back in a week to do some fine tuning or another full tune if necessary. I notice what you described as strings of the same key are sometimes at different pitches so the sound of that note “warbles”. Can you tell me what you think is going on? I hope it’s just a matter of a few more tunings to get it back to how it sounded in the showroom new. I love the piano but I hope it’s not somehow a lemon that no one can figure out.
Hi there! Brent here! Thanks for tuning in and writing in with your question! Obviously, it is impossible to assess things without seeing and inspecting the piano in person. With that said, it could just be a matter of needing an extra visit to get the tuning sorted out. If a piano is substantially out of tune and has not been maintained for several years, the first step is often to do a pitch raise. One or two of these may be required before doing any fine tuning. That may very well be the case here. My fingers are crossed that these new visit gets things resolved for you!
I tend to realise when I try and play along to a video of a tuned or software piano. I don't think you necessarily need perfect pitch to realise, but you will defiantly realise if you play a tuned tone/note with the untuned.
Is it also true that moving a piano, or vibrations from heavy vehicular traffic, can also cause a piano to go out of tune, or is that just an "old tuner's tale"?
I am not familiar with that piano brand. With that said, if it is an acoustic piano, I would recommend having a technician come out to assess the instrument.

When you point to the pins or say"pins" it would be helpful to show a closeup of the pins. The same thing with the soundboard.
Thank you for tuning in and sharing your feedback! We appreciate it. I will pass the suggestions on to our production team.

Great video! About time someone put this up. Do you have perfect pitch such that it is really obvious to you if not in tune?

Very informative video.
Is it also true that moving a piano, or vibrations from heavy vehicular traffic, can also cause a piano to go out of tune, or is that just an "old tuner's tale"?
I suppose it depends on the piano. A significant amount of vibration could lead to the piano falling out of tune.
I have a piano called theone and when I was playing a song I notice it didn’t sound right how do I fix that type of piano
I am not familiar with that piano brand. With that said, if it is an acoustic piano, I would recommend having a technician come out to assess the instrument.
Had no idea why they went out of tune
Because it wanted to get to the other side.
