Hello Hyrum, regarding the 4ths & 5ths and the comparison of the beats for the 6th and 10th and the major 3rds, could you tell me what these beats are and should the 6th beat faster or slower than the 17th or visa versa please? Thanks

[@Forealness]

Can someone please tell where to purchase the pitch analyzer. I’m learning so mush and I’ve been tuning for over 40 years please respond

The software detecting beats is Logic with a bunch of distortion (I think)

[@runyanpiano]

Nice vidoes. I think you can make them shorter need more piano views

[@suntowers1178]

Can I tune an acoustic piano to my korg synthesizer?

[@saltlakepianoservice]

It could be tuned to your synthesizer, but the octaves and other intervals may not sound their best as each piano needs to be tuned to slightly different frequencies. This all depends on what kind of piano you have and how closely it matches the synthesizer sound.

[@MrEthanhines]

Question: in 2023 can the filter tell the technician exactly how many beats per second there are and tune accordingly?

[@saltlakepianoservice]

My bandpass filter just runs through my tuner so it does not have that capability. One challenge to tuning that way is that the beat rates aren't a perfectly consistent pulse in reality and some pianos might call for faster or slower beats slightly, so it would difficult to tune that way practically I would think.

[@CarlosdeFrance]

Amazing video! I have a lot of respect for passionate piano tuners, mine tuned my U1 yesterday! Thanks
