Product Description:
Piano Tuner is a 12-note chromatic scale strobe tuner application that utilizes sound 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.
CAUTION: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TUNE YOUR PIANO WITHOUT LEARNING HOW. IT CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS.

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.

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.
