Product Description:

Piano Tuner is a 12-note chromatic scale strobe tuner and partial analyzer application that utilizes audio input devices such as built-in microphone, line-in, and iSight. Strobe tuners are extremely accurate compare to regular tuners with a needle or LEDs. The slightest difference between the actual pitch and the ideal pitch accumulates over time and appears as a movement on the strobe tuning meter.

Piano Tuner can be used by someone who wants to learn how to tune a piano by using a tuning lever and also be used by a professional piano tuner to help the tuning process. Note; a piano requires tuning, voicing, and regulation at least once a year by a professional piano tuner in order to keep it in a good condition. Version 1.7 added the Partials window which displays the cent offset of each partial.

Piano Tuner CommentaryGood helper - Version: 1.9, 3/18/2007 09:42AM PST

I have a Yamaha baby grand that needed a full tuning every 4 months, so every time I had to pay $90-100 to have a professional tuner tuning my piano (so spending a minimum of $300 a year). After one year, I got sick (too much money!), so I bought a good piano lever, miscellaneous material to tune the piano and tried this little program. Well, I am a professional violinist so my hear is very good to understand if a note is high or low, but sometimes I get confused and this little program helps me to understand right that.

Now I am keeping my piano tuned by adjusting those single notes every two weeks and it's great.

Be careful though! To tune a piano is not so easy and immediate, you must be a good musician first (to know the 5th basic tuning), have a good hear and be careful to turn your string pins VERY slowly.

If $99 is out of your budget, and you don't need a specialized piano tuner, try Strobe Tuner (currently 1.0.2) from the same developer, Katsura. $10 shareware.
