  • Step-by-step how to tune a piano.
    Just to clarify, I’ve received many questions about how C#3 is used when tuning F4. You’re just using it as a base line. So, whether you’re using the C#3, D3, D#3, E3 you’re not using them to tune F4, F#4, G4, E4. You’re tuning the 4th octave notes off of F3, F#3, G3, G#3. So tune F4 to F3 as close to no beats as possible. Then play C#3 with F3 and listen to how fast the beats are, THIS is your baseline. The beats could be fast, they could be slow, doesn’t matter. Now play C#3 with F4 and listen to the beats. If they sound the same as they did with C#3 and F3 then it’s a perfect 4:2 octave. If when you play C#3 and F4 the beats are faster, then F4 is too sharp compared to F3. If the beats are slower then F4 is too flat. Do the same with the other notes while moving up. This just gets you to the double octave which is what a 4:2 is. So once you get to F5, use F3 as your double octave test which you can now use since you know F3 is already in perfect tune.

    I just did a basic amateur tuning on my piano and it was difficult but i have so much more respect for what is going on here. But after this I am considering tuning as a hobby. Hearing things lock into pitch and come into unison is really satisfying.

    Stretch tuning also is something guitarists learn to do after playing a while

    Thanks for explaining. Probably the best video on this topic I have found so far :) Till now I have been able to tune only unisons by ear (the rest with ETD). Thanks :)

    Thank you for the great and thorough video tutorials. Might be good to mention that you are working with single strings throughout this demonstration.

    Hey this video is really great 👍🏻 thanks so much for sharing your expertise..now I finally know about 4:2 and 6:3 octaves. Especially that 4:2 check 4 notes down from lower note..I finally understand how to compare those fast beat speeds. Also discovered that even without listening for the beats, you can hear if there's a difference in the octave notes! That 3rd note shows it up! Amazing thanks again! Learned so much from your vid. More power to ya.
